Psalms 33

1Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright.

1Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

1Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise <FI>is<Fi> comely.

2Give praise to the Lord on the corded instrument; make melody to him with instruments of music.

2Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

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

3Make a new song to him; playing expertly with a loud noise.

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

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

4For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are certain.

4For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.

4For upright <FI>is<Fi> the word of Jehovah, And all His work <FI>is<Fi> in faithfulness.

5His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

5He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

5Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.

6By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.

6By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

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

7He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.

7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

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

8Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.

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

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

9For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.

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

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

10The Lord undoes the designs of the nations; he makes the thoughts of the peoples without effect.

10The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

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

11The Lord's purpose is eternal, the designs of his heart go on through all the generations of man.

11The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

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

12Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage.

12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

12O the happiness of the nation whose God <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.

13The Lord is looking down from heaven; he sees all the sons of men;

13The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

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

14From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;

14From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

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

15He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him.

15He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

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

16A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.

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

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

17A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.

17An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

17A false thing <FI>is<Fi> the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.

18See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;

18Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

18Lo, the eye of Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,

19To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need.

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

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

20Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.

20Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.

20Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield <FI>is<Fi> He,

21For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope.

21For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

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

22Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.

22Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

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