Psalms 33
PSALM 33.
1Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. 2Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. 3Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. 4For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. 5He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. ▼▼ goodness: or, mercy
6By the word of the Lord 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 an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. 8Let all the earth fear the Lord: 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. 10The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. ▼▼ bringeth: Heb. maketh frustrate
11The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. ▼▼ to all…: Heb. to generation and generation
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. 13The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. 14From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 15He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. 16There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 17An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. 18Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. 20Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield. 21For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. 22Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
