Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous; praise is appropriate for the upright.
Sing, you righteous, in YHWH, [For] praise from upright ones [is] lovely.
2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the harp; sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
Give thanks to YHWH with a harp, With stringed instrument of ten strings sing praise to Him,
3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully and sing with joy.
Sing to Him a new song, Play skillfully with shouting.
4 For Yahweh's word is upright, and everything he does is fair.
For the word of YHWH [is] upright, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of Yahweh's covenant faithfulness.
Loving righteousness and judgment, The earth is full of the kindness of YHWH.
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 YHWH The heavens have been made, And all their host by the breath of His mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together like a heap; he puts the oceans in storehouses.
Gathering the waters of the sea as a heap, Putting the depths in treasuries.
8 Let the whole earth fear Yahweh; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
All the earth is afraid of YHWH, All the inhabitants of the world are afraid of Him.
9 For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood in place.
For He has spoken, and it is, He has commanded, and it stands.
10 Yahweh frustrates the alliances of nations; he overrules the plans of the peoples.
YHWH made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
11 The plans of Yahweh stand forever, the plans of his heart for all generations.
The counsel of YHWH stands for all time, The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen as his own inheritance.
O the blessedness of the nation whose God [is] YHWH, Of the people He chose, For an inheritance to Him.
13 Yahweh looks from heaven; he sees all the people.
YHWH has looked from the heavens, He has seen all the sons of men.
14 From the place where he lives, he looks down on all who live on the earth.
From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked to all inhabitants of the earth;
15 He who shapes the hearts of them all observes all their deeds.
Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending to all their works.
16 No king is saved by a vast army; a warrior is not saved by his great strength.
The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
17 A horse is a false hope for victory; in spite of his great strength, he cannot rescue.
A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And he does not deliver By the abundance of his strength.
18 See, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his covenant faithfulness
Behold, the eye of YHWH [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
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 has waited for YHWH, He [is] our help and our shield,
21 Our hearts rejoice in him, for we trust in his holy name.
For our heart rejoices in Him, For 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 kindness, O YHWH, be on us, As we have waited for You!
