< Psalms 33 >
1 You righteous people should sing joyfully to Yahweh because that is what he deserves.
Shout for joy O righteous [people] in Yahweh for upright [people] [is] fitting praise.
2 Praise Yahweh as you play songs on the lyre/harp. Praise him as you play [other] instruments that have many strings.
Give thanks to Yahweh with harp with lyre of ten make music to him.
3 Sing a new song to him; Play those instruments well, and shout joyfully as you play them!
Sing to him a song new do well to play with a shout of joy.
4 Yahweh always does what he says that he will do; we can trust that everything that he does is right.
For [is] upright [the] word of Yahweh and all work his [is] in faithfulness.
5 He loves everything that we do that is just and right. People all over the earth can know that Yahweh faithfully loves us.
[he is] loving Righteousness and justice [the] covenant loyalty of Yahweh it is full the earth.
6 Yahweh created everything in the sky by commanding it. By what he said [MTY] he created all the stars.
By [the] word of Yahweh [the] heavens they were made and by [the] breath of mouth his all host their.
7 He gathered all the water into one huge mass like [someone scoops liquid] into a container.
[he is] gathering Like heap [the] waters of the sea [he is] putting in storehouses [the] deeps.
8 Everyone on the earth should revere Yahweh [DOU].
Let them fear from Yahweh all the earth from him let them be afraid all [the] inhabitants of [the] world.
9 When he spoke, the world (was created/started to exist). Everything started to exist as a result of him commanding it.
For he he spoke and it was he he commanded and it stood forth.
10 Yahweh frustrates the things that the [pagan] nations decide to do. He prevents them from doing the [evil] things that they plan to do.
Yahweh he makes ineffectual [the] counsel of nations he frustrates [the] plans of peoples.
11 But what Yahweh decides to do will last forever. What he plans to do will never be changed.
[the] counsel of Yahweh for ever it stands [the] plans of heart his to a generation and a generation.
12 Yahweh blesses those nations who choose him to be their God; He is pleased with those whom he has chosen to receive what he has promised.
How blessed! [is] the nation which Yahweh [is] God its the people - [which] he has chosen to an inheritance for himself.
13 Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees all us people;
From [the] heavens he looks Yahweh he sees all [the] children of humankind.
14 from where he rules [MTY], he looks down on all the people who live on the earth.
From [the] place of dwelling his he looks to all [the] inhabitants of the earth.
15 He formed our inner beings, and he sees everything that we do.
The [one who] forms together heart their the [one who] attends to all deeds their.
16 It is not because a king has a great army that he is able to win [battles], and it is not because a soldier is very strong that he is able to defeat [his enemy].
Not king [is] saved by greatness of army a warrior not he is delivered by greatness of strength.
17 It is foolish to trust that because horses are very strong that they will able to win a battle and save their riders.
[is] a vain hope Horse for victory and by [the] greatness of strength its not it delivers.
18 Do not forget that Yahweh watches over those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to faithfully love them.
Here! [the] eye of Yahweh [is] to [those] fearing him to [those who] hope for covenant loyalty his.
19 He saves them [SYN] from dying [before they should die] and preserves them when there is a famine.
To deliver from death life their and to preserve alive them in famine.
20 We trust that Yahweh will help us; he protects us like a shield protects a soldier [MET].
Self our it waits for Yahweh [is] help our and shield our he.
21 We rejoice because of what he [has done for us]; we trust in him because he [MTY] is holy.
For in him it rejoices heart our for in [the] name of holiness his we trust.
