< Psalms 33 >

1 You righteous people should sing joyfully to Yahweh because that is what he deserves.
Fröjder eder af Herranom, I rättfärdige; de fromme skola prise honom härliga.
2 Praise Yahweh as you play songs on the lyre/harp. Praise him as you play [other] instruments that have many strings.
Tacker Herranom med harpor; och lofsjunger honom på psaltare af tio stränger.
3 Sing a new song to him; Play those instruments well, and shout joyfully as you play them!
Sjunger honom en ny viso; sjunger väl på strängaspel med klingande ljud.
4 Yahweh always does what he says that he will do; we can trust that everything that he does is right.
Ty Herrans ord är sannfärdigt; och hvad han lofvar, det håller han visserliga.
5 He loves everything that we do that is just and right. People all over the earth can know that Yahweh faithfully loves us.
Han älskar rättfärdighet och dom; jorden är full af Herrans godhet.
6 Yahweh created everything in the sky by commanding it. By what he said [MTY] he created all the stars.
Himmelen är gjord genom Herrans ord, och all hans här genom hans muns anda.
7 He gathered all the water into one huge mass like [someone scoops liquid] into a container.
Han håller vattnet i hafvet tillsammans, såsom uti en lägel; och lägger djupen i det fördolda.
8 Everyone on the earth should revere Yahweh [DOU].
All verlden frukte Herran; honom rädes allt det som på jordene bor.
9 When he spoke, the world (was created/started to exist). Everything started to exist as a result of him commanding it.
Ty om han säger, så sker det; om han bjuder, så är det gjordt.
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.
Herren gör Hedningarnas råd omintet, och vänder folks tankar.
11 But what Yahweh decides to do will last forever. What he plans to do will never be changed.
Men Herrans råd blifver evinnerliga; hans hjertas tankar i evighet.
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.
Saligt är det folk, hvilkets Gud Herren är; det folk, som han till ett arf utkorat hafver.
13 Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees all us people;
Herren skådar neder af himmelen, och ser all menniskors barn.
14 from where he rules [MTY], he looks down on all the people who live on the earth.
Utaf sinom fasta stol ser han uppå alla de som på jordene bo.
15 He formed our inner beings, and he sees everything that we do.
Han böjer allas deras hjerta; han aktar uppå alla deras gerningar.
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].
Enom Konung hjelper intet hans stora magt; enom kämpa varder icke hulpet genom hans stora kraft.
17 It is foolish to trust that because horses are very strong that they will able to win a battle and save their riders.
Hästar hjelpa ock intet, och deras stora starkhet frälsar intet.
18 Do not forget that Yahweh watches over those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to faithfully love them.
Si, Herrans öga ser uppå dem som frukta honom; de som uppå hans godhet trösta;
19 He saves them [SYN] from dying [before they should die] and preserves them when there is a famine.
Att han skall fria deras själ ifrå dödenom, och föda dem i hårdom tid.
20 We trust that Yahweh will help us; he protects us like a shield protects a soldier [MET].
Vår själ väntar efter Herranom; han är vår hjelp och sköld.
21 We rejoice because of what he [has done for us]; we trust in him because he [MTY] is holy.
Ty vårt hjerta gläder sig af honom, och vi hoppes på hans helga Namn.
22 Yahweh, we pray that you will always faithfully love us while we confidently expect you [to do great things for us].
Din godhet, Herre, vare öfver oss, såsom vi på dig förtröste.
