Psalms 33
33
1Let the godly sing for joy to the Lord;
it is fitting for the pure to praise him.
2Praise the Lord with melodies on the lyre;
make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.
3Sing a new song of praise to him;
play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy.
4For the word of the Lord holds true,
and we can trust everything he does.
5He loves whatever is just and good;
the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.
6The Lord merely spoke,
and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born.
7He assigned the sea its boundaries
and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.
8Let the whole world fear the Lord,
and let everyone stand in awe of him.
9For when he spoke, the world began!
It appeared at his command.
10The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations
and thwarts all their schemes.
11But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever;
his intentions can never be shaken.
12What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord,
whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.
13The Lord looks down from heaven
and sees the whole human race.
14From his throne he observes
all who live on the earth.
15He made their hearts,
so he understands everything they do.
16The best-equipped army cannot save a king,
nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.
17Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—
for all its strength, it cannot save you.
18But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.
19He rescues them from death
and keeps them alive in times of famine.
20We put our hope in the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
21In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone.

Tehillim 33
33
1Sing with joy in Hashem, O ye tzaddikim; for tehillah is fitting for the yesharim (upright ones).
2Hodu l'Hashem with kinnor (harp); make music unto Him with the ten stringed nevel (lyre).
3Sing unto Him a shir chadash (new song); play skillfully with a teru'ah (shout of joy).
4For the Devar Hashem is yashar; and kol ma'aseihu (all His deeds) are done in emunah (faithfulness).
5He loveth Tzedakah and Mishpat; ha'aretz is full of the chesed Hashem.
6By the Devar Hashem were Shomayim made; and all the tz'va (host) of them by the ruach (breath) of His mouth.#33:6 MJ 11:3; Jn 1:1; Ps 56:5
7He gathereth the mey hayam (waters of the sea) like a mound; He layeth up the tehomot (ocean depths) in otzarot (storehouses, vaults).
8Let kol ha'aretz fear Hashem; let kol yoshvei tevel (all the inhabitants of the world) stand in awe of Him.
9For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 Hashem annuls the atzat Goyim (plan of the Goyim); He foils the machsh'vot Amim (schemes of the peoples).
11The atzat Hashem standeth firm l'olam, the machsh'vot of His lev l'dor va'dor (from generation to generation).
12Ashrei is the Goy whose Elohav is Hashem; and HaAm whom He hath chosen for His own nachalah.
13 Hashem looketh down from Shomayim: He beholdeth kol Bnei HaAdam.
14From the place of His habitation He looketh upon kol yoshvei ha'aretz.
15He formeth their hearts yachad; He considereth all their ma'asim (deeds).
16There is no melech saved by the multitude of an army; a gibbor is not delivered by rav ko'ach.
17A sus is a sheker (vain, false thing) for teshu'ah (deliverance, salvation, safety); neither shall it save any by its great strength.
18Hinei, the eye of Hashem is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His chesed;
19To deliver their nefesh from mavet (death), and to keep them alive in ra'av (famine).
20Our nefesh waiteth for Hashem; He is ezreinu (our help) and moginneinu (our shield).
21For libeinu (our heart) shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted b'Shem Kadsho (in His holy Name).
22Let Thy chesed, Hashem, be upon us, even as we have hoped in Thee.
