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.

Psalms 33

Psalm 33
1Joyfully sing to the Lord, you righteous people.
Praising ⌞the Lord⌟ is proper for decent people.
2Give thanks with a lyre to the Lord.
Make music for him on a ten-stringed harp.
3Sing a new song to him.
Play beautifully and joyfully on stringed instruments.
4The Lord’s word is correct,
and everything he does is trustworthy.
5The Lord loves righteousness and justice.
His mercy fills the earth.
6The heavens were made by the Lord’s word
and all the stars by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathers the water in the sea like a dam
and puts the oceans in his storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord.
Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him.
9He spoke, and it came into being.
He gave the order, and there it stood.
10The Lord blocks the plans of the nations.
He frustrates the schemes of the people of the world.
11The Lord’s plan stands firm forever.
His thoughts stand firm in every generation.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
Blessed are the people he has chosen as his own.
13The Lord looks down from heaven.
He sees all of Adam’s descendants.
14From the place where he sits enthroned,
he looks down upon all who live on earth.
15The one who formed their hearts
understands everything they do.
16No king achieves a victory with a large army.
No warrior rescues himself by his own great strength.
17Horses are not a guarantee for victory.
Their great strength cannot help someone escape.
18The Lord’s eyes are on those who fear him,
on those who wait with hope for his mercy
19to rescue their souls from death
and keep them alive during a famine.
20We wait for the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
21In him our hearts find joy.
In his holy name we trust.
22Let your mercy rest on us, O Lord,
since we wait with hope for you.
