Psalm XXXIII.

Rejoice ain the Lord, O ye righteous:

For bpraise is comely for the upright.

2  Praise the Lord with charp:

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

3  Sing unto him ea new song;

Play skilfully fwith a loud noise.

4  For the word of the Lord is right;

And all his works are done ffin truth.

5  gHe loveth righteousness and judgment:

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

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

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

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

nHe layeth up the depth in storehouses.

8  Let all the earth fear the Lord:

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

9  For ohe spake, and it was done;

He commanded, and it stood fast.

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

He maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

11  qThe counsel of the Lord standeth for ever,

The thoughts of his heart * to all generations.

12  rBlessed is the nation whose God is the Lord;

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

13  tThe Lord looketh from heaven;

He beholdeth all the sons of men.

14  From uthe place of his habitation he wlooketh

Upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

15  He fashioneth their hearts alike;

xHe wconsidereth all their works.

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

A mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17  zA horse is a vain thing for safety:

Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

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

bUpon them that hope in his mercy;

19  cTo deliver their soul from death,

And to keep them alive din famine.

20  eOur soul fwaiteth for the Lord:

He is gour help and our shield.

21  For our hheart shall rejoice in him,

Because we have itrusted in his holy name.

22  Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us,

According as we bhope in thee.
