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.

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.
