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.

PSALM 33
1Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright. 2Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute. 3Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound. 4For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness. 5He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah. 6By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses. 8Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. 10Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect. 11The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12Blessed is the nation whose God#GodHebrew: Elohim is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance! 13Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men: 14From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth; 15He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works. 16The king is not saved by the multitude of his forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 17The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power. 18Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness, 19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. 20Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield. 21For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name. 22Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
