Psalm 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.

¹⁰Jehovah 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!
