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
1Let those who do good shout for joy—those who live right should praise him!
2Praise the Lord with the lyre, play music to him on the ten-stringed harp.
3Sing a new song to him; play your instruments well and shout for joy.
4For the word of the Lord is true,#33:4 Literally, “upright.” and he is trustworthy in everything he does.
5He loves all that is good and right; the earth is full of the Lord's trustworthy love.
6The Lord spoke the word and the heavens were made; his mouth breathed all the stars into existence.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together, he keeps the ocean depths in store.
8Let all the earth show reverence to the Lord; let all the world's inhabitants be in awe of him.
9For he spoke and the world came into existence; he gave the command and it was created.
10The Lord foils the decisions of the nations, he frustrates the plans of the peoples,
11But the Lord's plan stands forever—what he decides lasts for all generations.
12Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he has chosen as specially belonging#33:12. Literally, “inheritance.” to him.
13The Lord looks from heaven and sees the whole of humanity,
14from his throne he watches all those who live on earth.
15He created their minds,#33:15. Literally, “hearts.” so he knows everything they do.
16Even the greatest army cannot save a king; the greatest strength cannot save a warrior.
17Don't deceive yourself: a warhorse can't give you victory—even its incredible strength won't save you.
18The Lord watches over those who reverently follow him, those who place their hope in his trustworthy love
19to save them from death and to keep them alive when famine strikes.
20We place our confidence in the Lord; he is our help and our defender.#33:20. Literally, “shield.”
21We are so happy about him, for we trust in his holy character.
22Lord, let your trustworthy love rest upon us as we hope in you.
