| Chapter 33 |
1 |
Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
|
2 |
Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
|
3 |
Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
|
4 |
For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
|
5 |
He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Yahweh.
|
6 |
By the word of Yahweh were the heavens made, All the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
|
7 |
He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
|
8 |
Let all the earth fear Yahweh. 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 firm.
|
10 |
Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
|
11 |
The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.
|
12 |
Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, The people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
|
13 |
Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
|
14 |
From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth.
|
15 |
He who fashions all of their hearts. He considers all of their works.
|
16 |
There is no king saved by the multitude of a host. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
|
17 |
A horse is a vain thing for safety, Neither does he deliver any by his great power.
|
18 |
Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him, On those who hope in his lovingkindness;
|
19 |
To deliver their soul from death, To keep them alive in famine.
|
20 |
Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.
|
21 |
For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.
|
22 |
Let your lovingkindness be on us, Yahweh, Since we have hoped in you. Psalm 34 By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.
