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.

Psalm 33
Praise the Lord! #33:1 We should praise the Lord because he is the one who made the whole universe. He also takes care of everyone who respects him and worships him. They are the Lord's special people. He loves them with his faithful love.
1You righteous people,
sing to praise the Lord,
and be happy!
It is right for good, honest people to do that.
2Pick up your harp
and praise the Lord!
Make music for him
with a lyre that has ten strings.
3Sing to him a new song!
Make beautiful music,
as you sing aloud to praise him.
4Yes! The Lord's message is true.
We can always trust him to do what is right.
5He loves everything that is right and fair.
The world is full of his faithful love.
6The word of the Lord made the heavens.
When he spoke,
all the stars in the sky appeared.
7He put the water of the sea together in a heap.
He made the deep seas stay in their right places.
8Everyone who lives on the earth should respect the Lord.
They should bend down to worship him.
9The Lord spoke,
and the world began!
He spoke his command,
and everything became fixed in its place. #33:9 God made everything by his word. See Genesis 1.
10 Nations decide what they want to do,
but the Lord causes their plans to be useless.
11But whatever the Lord decides to do
will always happen.
His thoughts will not change
from one century to the next.
12The Lord blesses the nation
that has him as their God.
He has chosen them to belong to him,
as his own special people.
13The Lord looks down from heaven.
He sees every man, woman and child.
14From the place where he lives,
he watches everyone that lives on the earth.
15He made each person and all their thoughts.
He knows everything that they do.
16A great army will not save their king.
A soldier does not stay alive because he is strong.
17In war, do not hope that even a strong horse will help you to win.
You can not trust it to save you.
18Remember, the Lord takes care of people who respect him.
Those people trust him for his faithful love.
19They trust him to keep them safe from death,
and to keep them alive during a time of famine.
20Yes! We will trust the Lord to come and help us.
He is our helper who keeps us safe,
like a soldier's shield.
21We are happy because he loves us.
We trust in his holy name.
22 Lord, help us to know your faithful love,
because we are trusting in you.
