Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous; praise is appropriate for the upright.
Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the harp; sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully and sing with joy.
Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4 For Yahweh's word is upright, and everything he does is fair.
For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of Yahweh's covenant faithfulness.
The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
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 the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars 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 piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
8 Let the whole earth fear Yahweh; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
9 For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood in place.
For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 Yahweh frustrates the alliances of nations; he overrules the plans of the peoples.
The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
11 The plans of Yahweh stand forever, the plans of his heart for all generations.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes 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 the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
13 Yahweh looks from heaven; he sees all the people.
The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place where he lives, he looks down on all who live on the earth.
From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
15 He who shapes the hearts of them all observes all their deeds.
He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
16 No king is saved by a vast army; a warrior is not saved by his great strength.
No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his 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 hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
18 See, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his covenant faithfulness
Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
19 to deliver their lives from death and to keep them alive in times of famine.
to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait for Yahweh; he is our help and our shield.
Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 Our hearts rejoice in him, for we trust in his holy name.
For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
22 Let your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, be with us as we put our hope in you.
May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
