| Chapter 33 |
1 |
Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.
|
2 |
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.
|
3 |
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.
|
4 |
For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.
|
5 |
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah.
|
6 |
By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
|
7 |
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
|
8 |
Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
|
9 |
For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
|
10 |
Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.
|
11 |
The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
|
12 |
Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!
|
13 |
Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:
|
14 |
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
|
15 |
He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.
|
16 |
The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
|
17 |
The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.
|
18 |
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,
|
19 |
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
|
20 |
Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.
|
21 |
For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.
|
22 |
Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
