Psalm 33
[33:1] Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright. [33:2] Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings. [33:3] Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy! [33:4] For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness. [33:5] He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh. [33:6] By Yahweh's word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth. [33:7] He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses. [33:8] Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. [33:9] For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm. [33:10] Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect. [33:11] The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. [33:12] Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance. [33:13] Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men. [33:14] From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, [33:15] he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works. [33:16] There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. [33:17] A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power. [33:18] Behold, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness; [33:19] to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine. [33:20] Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield. [33:21] For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. [33:22] Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.
