Psalms 33
1 Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.
Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.
2 Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.
3 Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.
4 For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.
5 Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah.
6 By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.
Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.
For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.
11 The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.
The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12 O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.
Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!
13 From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.
Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:
14 From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.
He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.
16 The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.
The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.
18 Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,
19 To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,
Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.
21 For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.
22 Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
