PSALM 33
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice;
it comely is and right,
That upright men, with thankful voice,
should praise the Lord of might.
2Praise God with harp, and unto him
sing with the psaltery;
Upon a ten-string'd instrument
make ye sweet melody.
3A new song to him sing, and play
with loud noise skilfully;
4For right is God's word, all his works
are done in verity.
5To judgment and to righteousness
a love he beareth still;
The loving-kindness of the Lord
the earth throughout doth fill.
6The heavens by the word of God
did their beginning take;
And by the breathing of his mouth
he all their hosts did make.
7The waters of the seas he brings
together as an heap;
And in storehouses, as it were,
he layeth up the deep.
8Let earth, and all that live therein,
with rev'rence fear the Lord;
Let all the world's inhabitants
dread him with one accord.
9For he did speak the word, and done
it was without delay;
Established it firmly stood,
whatever he did say.
10God doth the counsel bring to nought
which heathen folk do take;
And what the people do devise
of none effect doth make.
11O but the counsel of the Lord
doth stand for ever sure;
And of his heart the purposes
from age to age endure.
12That nation blessed is, whose God
JEHOVAH is, and those
A blessed people are, whom for
his heritage he chose.
13The Lord from heav'n sees and beholds
all sons of men full well:
14He views all from his dwelling-place
that in the earth do dwell.
15He forms their hearts alike, and all
their doings he observes.
16Great hosts save not a king, much strength
no mighty man preserves.
17An horse for preservation
is a deceitful thing;
And by the greatness of his strength
can no deliv'rance bring.
18Behold on those that do him fear
the Lord doth set his eye;
Ev'n those who on his mercy do
with confidence rely.
19From death to free their soul, in dearth
life unto them to yield.
20Our soul doth wait upon the Lord;
he is our help and shield.
21Sith in his holy name we trust,
our heart shall joyful be.
22Lord, let thy mercy be on us,
as we do hope in thee.

Psalms 33
33
Psalm 33
1¶ Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous, for to the upright praise is beautiful.
2Celebrate unto the Lord with harp; sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3Sing unto him a new song; play unto excellence with joy.
4For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done in truth.
5He loves righteousness and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; he lays up the deeps for treasures.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it came into being.
10The Lord brings the counsel of the Gentiles to nought; he makes the devices of the peoples of no effect.
11The counsel of the Lord stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12¶ Blessed is the people whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13The Lord looked from heaven; he saw all the sons of Adam.
14From the place of his habitation he looked upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15He fashioned all of their hearts; he considers all their works.
16The king is not saved by the multitude of the army; the mighty man does not escape by much strength.
17A horse is a vain thing for salvation; neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those that fear him, upon those that wait for his mercy
19to deliver their souls from death and to keep them alive in the famine.
20Our soul waited for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.
21Therefore our heart shall rejoice in him because we have trusted in the name of his holiness.
22Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have waited upon thee.
