Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
| רַנְּנ֣וּ צַ֭דִּיקִים בַּֽיהוָ֑ה לַ֝יְשָׁרִ֗ים נָאוָ֥ה תְהִלָּֽה׃ |
2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
| הֹוד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה בְּכִנֹּ֑ור בְּנֵ֥בֶל עָ֝שֹׂ֗ור זַמְּרוּ־לֹֽו׃ |
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
| שִֽׁירוּ־לֹ֖ו שִׁ֣יר חָדָ֑שׁ הֵיטִ֥יבוּ נַ֝גֵּ֗ן בִּתְרוּעָֽה׃ |
4 For Yahweh’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
| כִּֽי־יָשָׁ֥ר דְּבַר־יְהוָ֑ה וְכָל־מַ֝עֲשֵׂ֗הוּ בֶּאֱמוּנָֽה׃ |
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.
| אֹ֭הֵב צְדָקָ֣ה וּמִשְׁפָּ֑ט חֶ֥סֶד יְ֝הוָ֗ה מָלְאָ֥ה הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
6 By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.
| בִּדְבַ֣ר יְ֭הוָה שָׁמַ֣יִם נַעֲשׂ֑וּ וּבְר֥וּחַ פִּ֝֗יו כָּל־צְבָאָֽם׃ |
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
| כֹּנֵ֣ס כַּ֭נֵּד מֵ֣י הַיָּ֑ם נֹתֵ֖ן בְּאֹצָרֹ֣ות תְּהֹומֹֽות׃ |
8 Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
| יִֽירְא֣וּ מֵ֭יְהוָה כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ מִמֶּ֥נּוּ יָ֝ג֗וּרוּ כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֥י תֵבֵֽל׃ |
9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
| כִּ֤י ה֣וּא אָמַ֣ר וַיֶּ֑הִי הֽוּא־צִ֝וָּ֗ה וֽ͏ַיַּעֲמֹֽד׃ |
10 Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
| יְֽהוָ֗ה הֵפִ֥יר עֲצַת־גֹּויִ֑ם הֵ֝נִ֗יא מַחְשְׁבֹ֥ות עַמִּֽים׃ |
11 The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
| עֲצַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה לְעֹולָ֣ם תַּעֲמֹ֑ד מַחְשְׁבֹ֥ות לִ֝בֹּ֗ו לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃ |
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
| אַשְׁרֵ֣י הַ֭גֹּוי אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑יו הָעָ֓ם ׀ בָּחַ֖ר לְנַחֲלָ֣ה לֹֽו׃ |
13 Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
| מִ֭שָּׁמַיִם הִבִּ֣יט יְהוָ֑ה רָ֝אָ֗ה אֶֽת־כָּל־בְּנֵ֥י הָאָדָֽם׃ |
14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
| מִֽמְּכֹון־שִׁבְתֹּ֥ו הִשְׁגִּ֑יחַ אֶ֖ל כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
15 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
| הַיֹּצֵ֣ר יַ֣חַד לִבָּ֑ם הַ֝מֵּבִ֗ין אֶל־כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃ |
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
| אֵֽין־הַ֭מֶּלֶךְ נֹושָׁ֣ע בְּרָב־חָ֑יִל גִּ֝בֹּ֗ור לֹֽא־יִנָּצֵ֥ל בְּרָב־כֹּֽחַ׃ |
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
| שֶׁ֣קֶר הַ֭סּוּס לִתְשׁוּעָ֑ה וּבְרֹ֥ב חֵ֝ילֹ֗ו לֹ֣א יְמַלֵּֽט׃ |
18 Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,
| הִנֵּ֤ה עֵ֣ין יְ֭הוָה אֶל־יְרֵאָ֑יו לַֽמְיַחֲלִ֥ים לְחַסְדֹּֽו׃ |
19 to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
| לְהַצִּ֣יל מִמָּ֣וֶת נַפְשָׁ֑ם וּ֝לְחַיֹּותָ֗ם בָּרָעָֽב׃ |
20 Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.
| נַ֭פְשֵׁנוּ חִכְּתָ֣ה לַֽיהוָ֑ה עֶזְרֵ֖נוּ וּמָגִנֵּ֣נוּ הֽוּא׃ |
21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
| כִּי־בֹ֭ו יִשְׂמַ֣ח לִבֵּ֑נוּ כִּ֤י בְשֵׁ֖ם קָדְשֹׁ֣ו בָטָֽחְנוּ׃ |
22 Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.
| יְהִֽי־חַסְדְּךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה עָלֵ֑ינוּ כַּ֝אֲשֶׁ֗ר יִחַ֥לְנוּ לָֽךְ׃ |
