< תהילים 33 >
רַנְּנוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּֽיהוָה לַיְשָׁרִים נָאוָה תְהִלָּֽה׃ | 1 |
Shout for joy in the Lord, you righteous: praise for the upright is seemly.
הוֹדוּ לַיהוָה בְּכִנּוֹר בְּנֵבֶל עָשׂוֹר זַמְּרוּ־לֽוֹ׃ | 2 |
Give thanks to the Lord on the lyre, play to him on a ten-stringed harp.
שִֽׁירוּ־לוֹ שִׁיר חָדָשׁ הֵיטִיבוּ נַגֵּן בִּתְרוּעָֽה׃ | 3 |
Sing to him a new song, play skilfully and shout merrily.
כִּֽי־יָשָׁר דְּבַר־יְהוָה וְכָל־מַעֲשֵׂהוּ בֶּאֱמוּנָֽה׃ | 4 |
For the Lord is straight in his promise; and all that he does is in faithfulness.
אֹהֵב צְדָקָה וּמִשְׁפָּט חֶסֶד יְהוָה מָלְאָה הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 5 |
Justice and right he loves; the earth is full of his kindness.
בִּדְבַר יְהוָה שָׁמַיִם נַעֲשׂוּ וּבְרוּחַ פִּיו כָּל־צְבָאָֽם׃ | 6 |
By his word the heavens were made, all their host by the breath of his mouth.
כֹּנֵס כַּנֵּד מֵי הַיָּם נֹתֵן בְּאֹצָרוֹת תְּהוֹמֽוֹת׃ | 7 |
He gathers the sea in a bottle, the ocean he puts into store-houses.
יִֽירְאוּ מֵיְהוָה כָּל־הָאָרֶץ מִמֶּנּוּ יָגוּרוּ כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵֽל׃ | 8 |
Let the whole world honor the Lord, let all who live on earth be in awe.
כִּי הוּא אָמַר וַיֶּהִי הֽוּא־צִוָּה וֽ͏ַיַּעֲמֹֽד׃ | 9 |
For at his word it came into being, at his command it stood forth.
יְֽהוָה הֵפִיר עֲצַת־גּוֹיִם הֵנִיא מַחְשְׁבוֹת עַמִּֽים׃ | 10 |
The Lord frustrates the designs of the nations, what the peoples have purposed, he brings to nought,
עֲצַת יְהוָה לְעוֹלָם תַּעֲמֹד מַחְשְׁבוֹת לִבּוֹ לְדֹר וָדֹֽר׃ | 11 |
but the Lord’s own design will stand forever, and what his heart has purposed, through all generations.
אַשְׁרֵי הַגּוֹי אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו הָעָם ׀ בָּחַר לְנַחֲלָה לֽוֹ׃ | 12 |
Happy the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for himself as his own.
מִשָּׁמַיִם הִבִּיט יְהוָה רָאָה אֶֽת־כָּל־בְּנֵי הָאָדָֽם׃ | 13 |
The Lord looks down from heaven, he sees all of humanity;
מִֽמְּכוֹן־שִׁבְתּוֹ הִשְׁגִּיחַ אֶל כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵי הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 14 |
from where he rules he gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
הַיֹּצֵר יַחַד לִבָּם הַמֵּבִין אֶל־כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃ | 15 |
He fashions the hearts of them all, and gives heed to all that they do.
אֵֽין־הַמֶּלֶךְ נוֹשָׁע בְּרָב־חָיִל גִּבּוֹר לֹֽא־יִנָּצֵל בְּרָב־כֹּֽחַ׃ | 16 |
It is not by great armies that kings are victorious, it is not by great strength that a warrior saves himself;
שֶׁקֶר הַסּוּס לִתְשׁוּעָה וּבְרֹב חֵילוֹ לֹא יְמַלֵּֽט׃ | 17 |
false hope is the war-horse to usher in victory, for all its great might it can provide no escape.
הִנֵּה עֵין יְהוָה אֶל־יְרֵאָיו לַֽמְיַחֲלִים לְחַסְדּֽוֹ׃ | 18 |
See! The eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his kindness;
לְהַצִּיל מִמָּוֶת נַפְשָׁם וּלְחַיּוֹתָם בָּרָעָֽב׃ | 19 |
to deliver their life from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
נַפְשֵׁנוּ חִכְּתָה לַֽיהוָה עֶזְרֵנוּ וּמָגִנֵּנוּ הֽוּא׃ | 20 |
We wait for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
כִּי־בוֹ יִשְׂמַח לִבֵּנוּ כִּי בְשֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ בָטָֽחְנוּ׃ | 21 |
For in him our heart is glad, we trust in his holy name.
יְהִֽי־חַסְדְּךָ יְהוָה עָלֵינוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר יִחַלְנוּ לָֽךְ׃ | 22 |
Let your kindness, O Lord, be upon us, as is our hope in you.
