Psalm 33

Psalm XXXIII.

Rejoice ^ain the Lord, O ye righteous:

For ^bpraise is comely for the upright.

²Praise the Lord with ^charp:

Sing unto him with the ^cpsaltery ^dand an instrument of ten strings.

³Sing unto him ^ea new song;

Play skilfully ^fwith a loud noise.

⁴For the word of the Lord is right;

And all his works are done ^ffin truth.

^5gHe loveth righteousness and judgment:

^hThe earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

⁶ⁱBy the word of the Lord were the heavens made;

And ^kall the host of them ^lby the breath of his mouth.

⁷He gathereth the waters of the sea together ^mas a heap:

ⁿHe layeth up the depth in storehouses.

⁸Let all the earth fear the Lord:

Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

⁹For ^ohe spake, and it was done;

He commanded, and it stood fast.

^10pThe Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought:

He maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

^11qThe counsel of the Lord standeth for ever,

The thoughts of his heart to all generations.

^12rBlessed is the nation whose God is the Lord;

And the people whom he hath ^schosen for his own inheritance.

^13tThe Lord looketh from heaven;

He beholdeth all the sons of men.

¹⁴From ^uthe place of his habitation he ^wlooketh

Upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

¹⁵He fashioneth their hearts alike;

^xHe ^wconsidereth all their works.

^16yThere is no king saved by the multitude of a host:

A mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

^17zA horse is a vain thing for safety:

Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

¹⁸Behold, ^athe eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him,

^bUpon them that hope in his mercy;

^19cTo deliver their soul from death,

And to keep them alive ^din famine.

^20eOur soul ^fwaiteth for the Lord:

He is ^gour help and our shield.

²¹For our ^hheart shall rejoice in him,

Because we have ⁱtrusted in his holy name.

²²Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us,

According as we ^bhope in thee.
