Psalms 33
1 Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Yahweh, To the upright, seemly is praise.
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for 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 harp: sing to him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
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 with a loud noise.
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 works are done in truth.
5 Who loveth righteousness and justice, With the lovingkindness of Yahweh, the earth is full.
He loveth righteousness and judgment: 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 host 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 together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in store houses.
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 spoke, 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 counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of no effect.
11 The counsel of Yahweh, to times age-abiding, shall stand, The devices of his heart, from generation to generation.
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Out of the heavens, hath Yahweh looked, He hath seen all the sons of men:
The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 Out of his settled place of abode, hath he fixed his gaze on all the inhabitants of the earth:
From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 Who fashioneth their heart all together, Who understandeth all their doings.
He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 Not a king, can be saved by greatness of force, nor, hero, deliver himself by greatness of strength:
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 A deception, is the horse, for victory, and, by his great strength, shall he not deliver.
An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any 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 hope in his mercy;
19 To rescue, from death, their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our own soul, hath waited for Yahweh, Our help and our shield, is he!
Our soul waiteth for 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.
For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Be thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, upon us, According as we have waited for thee.
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
