Psalms 33
1 Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Yahweh, To the upright, seemly is praise.
Rejoice, O ye righteous, in the LORD! For praise becometh the upright.
2 Give ye thanks unto Yahweh with the lyre, With a harp of ten strings, make ye music unto him.
Praise the LORD with the harp; Sing to him with the ten-stringed psaltery!
3 Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.
Sing to him a new song; Play skilfully amid the sound of trumpets!
4 For right is the word of Yahweh, and, all his work, is in faithfulness:
For the word of the LORD is right, And all his acts are faithful.
5 Who loveth righteousness and justice, With the lovingkindness of Yahweh, the earth is full.
He loveth justice and equity; The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6 By the word of Yahweh, the heavens were made, and, by the spirit of his mouth, all their host:
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, And all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 Who gathered as into a skin-bottle the waters of the sea, Delivering, into treasuries, the roaring deeps.
He gathereth the waters of the sea, as a heap; He layeth up the deep in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth, stand in awe of Yahweh, Of him, be in dread, all ye inhabitants of the world;
Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
9 For, he, spake, and it was, He, commanded, and it stood forth.
For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10 Yahweh, hath frustrated the counsel of nations, hath brought to nothing the devices of peoples.
The LORD bringeth the devices of the nations to nothing; He frustrateth the designs of kingdoms.
11 The counsel of Yahweh, to times age-abiding, shall stand, The devices of his heart, from generation to generation.
The purposes of the LORD stand for ever; The designs of his heart, to all generations.
12 How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!
Happy the nation whose God is Jehovah; The people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
13 Out of the heavens, hath Yahweh looked, He hath seen all the sons of men:
The LORD looketh down from heaven; He beholdeth all the children of men;
14 Out of his settled place of abode, hath he fixed his gaze on all the inhabitants of the earth:
From his dwelling-place he beholdeth all the inhabitants of the earth, —
15 Who fashioneth their heart all together, Who understandeth all their doings.
He that formed the hearts of all, And observeth all their works.
16 Not a king, can be saved by greatness of force, nor, hero, deliver himself by greatness of strength:
A king is not saved by the number of his forces, Nor a hero by the greatness of his strength.
17 A deception, is the horse, for victory, and, by his great strength, shall he not deliver.
The horse is a vain thing for safety, Nor can he deliver his master by his great strength.
18 Lo! the eye of Yahweh, is toward them who revere him, unto such as are waiting for his lovingkindness:
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, —Upon them that trust in his goodness;
19 To rescue, from death, their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
To save them from the power of death, And keep them alive in famine.
20 Our own soul, hath waited for Yahweh, Our help and our shield, is he!
The hope of our souls is in the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 For, in him, shall our heart rejoice, For, in his holy Name, have we trusted.
Yea, in him doth our heart rejoice; In his holy name we have confidence.
22 Be thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, upon us, According as we have waited for thee.
May thy goodness be upon us, O LORD! According as we trust in thee!
