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.

Psalms 33
33
Praise God Who Creates and Saves
1Sing to the Lord, you who do what is right.
Honest people should praise him.
2Praise the Lord on the harp.
Make music for him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3Sing a new song to him.
Play well and joyfully.
4God’s word is true.
Everything he does is right.
5He loves what is right and fair.
The Lord’s love fills the earth.
6The sky was made at the Lord’s command.
By the breath from his mouth, he made all the stars.
7He gathered the water in the sea into a heap.
He made the great ocean stay in its place.
8All the earth should worship the Lord.
The whole world should fear him.
9He spoke, and it happened.
He commanded, and it appeared.
10The Lord upsets the plans of nations.
He ruins all their plans.
11But the Lord’s plans will stand forever.
His ideas will last from now on.
12Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord.
Happy are the people he chose for his very own.
13The Lord looks down from heaven.
He sees every person.
14From his throne he watches
everyone who lives on earth.
15He made their hearts.
He understands everything they do.
16No king is saved by his great army.
No warrior escapes by his great strength.
17Horses can’t bring victory.
They can’t save by their strength.
18But the Lord looks after those who fear him.
He watches over those who put their hope in his love.
19He saves them from death.
He spares their lives in times of hunger.
20So our hope is in the Lord.
He is our help, our shield to protect us.
21We rejoice in him.
We trust his holy name.
22Lord, show your love to us
as we put our hope in you.
