PSALM 33
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice;
it comely is and right,
That upright men, with thankful voice,
should praise the Lord of might.
2Praise God with harp, and unto him
sing with the psaltery;
Upon a ten-string'd instrument
make ye sweet melody.
3A new song to him sing, and play
with loud noise skilfully;
4For right is God's word, all his works
are done in verity.
5To judgment and to righteousness
a love he beareth still;
The loving-kindness of the Lord
the earth throughout doth fill.
6The heavens by the word of God
did their beginning take;
And by the breathing of his mouth
he all their hosts did make.
7The waters of the seas he brings
together as an heap;
And in storehouses, as it were,
he layeth up the deep.
8Let earth, and all that live therein,
with rev'rence fear the Lord;
Let all the world's inhabitants
dread him with one accord.
9For he did speak the word, and done
it was without delay;
Established it firmly stood,
whatever he did say.
10God doth the counsel bring to nought
which heathen folk do take;
And what the people do devise
of none effect doth make.
11O but the counsel of the Lord
doth stand for ever sure;
And of his heart the purposes
from age to age endure.
12That nation blessed is, whose God
JEHOVAH is, and those
A blessed people are, whom for
his heritage he chose.
13The Lord from heav'n sees and beholds
all sons of men full well:
14He views all from his dwelling-place
that in the earth do dwell.
15He forms their hearts alike, and all
their doings he observes.
16Great hosts save not a king, much strength
no mighty man preserves.
17An horse for preservation
is a deceitful thing;
And by the greatness of his strength
can no deliv'rance bring.
18Behold on those that do him fear
the Lord doth set his eye;
Ev'n those who on his mercy do
with confidence rely.
19From death to free their soul, in dearth
life unto them to yield.
20Our soul doth wait upon the Lord;
he is our help and shield.
21Sith in his holy name we trust,
our heart shall joyful be.
22Lord, let thy mercy be on us,
as we do hope in thee.

Tehillim (Psalms) 33
33
1Shout for joy in יהוה, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the straight!
2Praise יהוה with the lyre; Sing to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song; Play sweetly with a shout of joy.
4For the Word of יהוה is straight, And all His works are in truth,
5Loving righteousness and right-ruling; The earth is filled with the loving-commitment of יהוה.
6By the Word of יהוה the heavens were made, And all their host by the Spirit of His mouth,
7Gathering the waters of the sea together as a heap; Laying up the deep in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear יהוה; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10יהוה brings the counsel of the nations to naught; He thwarts the plans of the peoples.
11The counsel of יהוה stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose Elohim is יהוה, The people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance.
13יהוה has looked from the heavens; He has seen all the sons of men.
14He looked from His dwelling place On all the inhabitants of the earth –
15He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works.
16The sovereign is not saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17A horse is a vain means of safety; Neither does it rescue any by its great power.
18See, the eye of יהוה is on those fearing Him, On those waiting for His loving-commitment,
19To deliver their being from death, And to keep them alive during scarcity of food.
20Our being has longed for יהוה; Our help and our shield is He.
21For our heart does rejoice in Him, For we have put our trust in His set-apart Name.
22Let Your loving-commitment, O יהוה, be upon us, Even as we wait for You.
