Psalms Chapter 33

33:1 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.

33:2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.

33:3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!

33:4 For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.

33:5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.

33:6 By Yahweh's word the heavens were made; All their host by the breath of his mouth.

33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

33:8 Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

33:9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.

33:10 Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

33:11 The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.

33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, The people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

33:13 Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.

33:14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,

33:15 He who fashions all of their hearts; And he considers all of their works.

33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of a host. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

33:17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, Neither does he deliver any by his great power.

33:18 Behold, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, On those who hope in his loving kindness;

33:19 To deliver their soul from death, To keep them alive in famine.

33:20 Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.

33:21 For our heart rejoices in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.

33:22 Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, Since we have hoped in you.
