Psalm 33

¹Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous: Praise is comely for the upright.

²Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.

³Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise.

⁴For the word of Jehovah is right; And all his work is done in faithfulness.

⁵He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness 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 store-houses.

⁸Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

⁹For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

¹⁰Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

¹¹The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

¹³Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;

¹⁴From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,

¹⁵He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works.

¹⁶There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

¹⁷A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.

¹⁸Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;

¹⁹To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.

²⁰Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.
