Psalms 33
33
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.

Tehillim (Psa) 33
33
1Rejoice in Adonai, you righteous!
Praise is well-suited to the upright.
2Give thanks to Adonai with the lyre,
sing praises to him with a ten-stringed harp.
3Sing to him a new song,
make music at your best among shouts of joy.
4For the word of Adonai is true,
and all his work is trustworthy.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the grace of Adonai.
6By the word of Adonai the heavens were made,
and their whole host by a breath from his mouth.
7He collects the sea waters together in a heap;
he puts the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear Adonai!
Let all living in the world stand in awe of him.
9For he spoke, and there it was;
he commanded, and there it stood.
10Adonai brings to nothing the plans of nations,
he foils the plans of the peoples.
11But the counsel of Adonai stands forever,
his heart’s plans are for all generations.
12How blessed is the nation whose God is Adonai,
the people he chose as his heritage!
13Adonai looks out from heaven;
he sees every human being;
14from the place where he lives
he watches everyone living on earth,
15he who fashioned the hearts of them all
and understands all they do.
16A king is not saved by the size of his army,
a strong man not delivered by his great strength.
17To rely on a horse for safety is vain,
nor does its great power assure escape.
18But Adonai’s eyes watch over those who fear him,
over those who wait for his grace
19to rescue them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20We are waiting for Adonai;
he is our help and shield.
21For in him our hearts rejoice,
because we trust in his holy name.
22May your mercy, Adonai, be over us,
because we put our hope in you.
