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.

Psalms 33
33
1Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.
2Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,
3Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.
4For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
5Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.
6By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
7Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.
8Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.
9For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.
10 Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
11The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.
12O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.
13From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.
14From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;
15Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.
16The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
17A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.
18Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
19To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,
21For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
22Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
