Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous; praise is appropriate for the upright.
Rejoice in the LORD, O all of you righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the harp; sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully and sing with joy.
Sing unto him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
4 For Yahweh's word is upright, and everything he does is fair.
For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of Yahweh's covenant faithfulness.
He loves righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
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 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 gathers the waters of the sea together as an heap: he lays up the depth in 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 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 spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 Yahweh frustrates the alliances of nations; he overrules the plans of the peoples.
The LORD brings the counsel of the heathen to nothing: he makes the devices of the people of no effect.
11 The plans of Yahweh stand forever, the plans of his heart for all generations.
The counsel of the LORD stands 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 the LORD; and the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Yahweh looks from heaven; he sees all the people.
The LORD looks from heaven; he beholds 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 looks upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He who shapes the hearts of them all observes all their deeds.
He fashions their hearts alike; he considers 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 an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 A horse is a false hope for victory; in spite of his great strength, he cannot rescue.
An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 See, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his covenant faithfulness
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
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 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 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 your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in you.
