Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Yahweh, To the upright, seemly is praise.
2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
Give ye thanks unto Yahweh with the lyre, With a harp of ten strings, make ye music unto him.
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skilfully with a shout of joy!
Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.
4 For the LORD’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
For right is the word of Yahweh, and, all his work, is in faithfulness:
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of the LORD.
Who loveth righteousness and justice, With the lovingkindness of Yahweh, the earth is full.
6 By the LORD’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.
By the word of Yahweh, the heavens were made, and, by the spirit of his mouth, all their host:
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
Who gathered as into a skin-bottle the waters of the sea, Delivering, into treasuries, the roaring deeps.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Let all the earth, stand in awe of Yahweh, Of him, be in dread, all ye inhabitants of the world;
9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
For, he, spake, and it was, He, commanded, and it stood forth.
10 The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
Yahweh, hath frustrated the counsel of nations, hath brought to nothing the devices of peoples.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
The counsel of Yahweh, to times age-abiding, shall stand, The devices of his heart, from generation to generation.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!
13 The LORD looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
Out of the heavens, hath Yahweh looked, He hath seen all the sons of men:
14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
Out of his settled place of abode, hath he fixed his gaze on all the inhabitants of the earth:
15 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
Who fashioneth their heart all together, Who understandeth all their doings.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
Not a king, can be saved by greatness of force, nor, hero, deliver himself by greatness of strength:
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
A deception, is the horse, for victory, and, by his great strength, shall he not deliver.
18 Behold, the LORD’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,
Lo! the eye of Yahweh, is toward them who revere him, unto such as are waiting for his lovingkindness:
19 to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
To rescue, from death, their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul has waited for the LORD. He is our help and our shield.
Our own soul, hath waited for Yahweh, Our help and our shield, is he!
21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
For, in him, shall our heart rejoice, For, in his holy Name, have we trusted.
22 Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.
Be thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, upon us, According as we have waited for thee.
