Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous; praise is appropriate for the upright.
Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous: Praise is comely for the upright.
2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the harp; sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully and sing with joy.
Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For Yahweh's word is upright, and everything he does is fair.
For the word of Jehovah is right; And all his work is [done] in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of Yahweh's covenant faithfulness.
He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.
6 By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made, and all the stars were made by the breath of his mouth.
By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together like a heap; he puts the oceans in storehouses.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.
8 Let the whole earth fear Yahweh; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood in place.
For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10 Yahweh frustrates the alliances of nations; he overrules the plans of the peoples.
Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 The plans of Yahweh stand forever, the plans of his heart for all generations.
The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen as his own inheritance.
Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Yahweh looks from heaven; he sees all the people.
Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
14 From the place where he lives, he looks down on all who live on the earth.
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 He who shapes the hearts of them all observes all their deeds.
He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works.
16 No king is saved by a vast army; a warrior is not saved by his great strength.
There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is a false hope for victory; in spite of his great strength, he cannot rescue.
A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.
18 See, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his covenant faithfulness
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;
19 to deliver their lives from death and to keep them alive in times of famine.
To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait for Yahweh; he is our help and our shield.
Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.
21 Our hearts rejoice in him, for we trust in his holy name.
For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, be with us as we put our hope in you.
Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee.
