Psalms 33

33 Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.

^2 ^Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,

^3 ^Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting //teruah//.

^4 ^For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.

^5 ^Loving righteousness and judgment //right-rulings//, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.

^6 ^By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

^7 ^Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.

^8 ^Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.

^9 ^For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.

^10 ^Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.

^11 ^The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.

^12 ^O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.

^13 ^From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.

^14 ^From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;

^15 ^Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.

^16 ^The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.

^17 ^A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.

^18 ^Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,

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

^20 ^Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,

^21 ^For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.

^22 ^Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
