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
Praise to the Creator
(Psalms 148:1–14)
1Rejoice in the Lord, O righteous ones;
it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
2Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to Him with ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song;
play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4For the word of the Lord is upright,
and all His work is trustworthy.
5The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of His loving devotion.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
7He piles up the waters of the sea;
He puts the depths into storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the people of the world revere Him.
9For He spoke, and it came to be;
He commanded, and it stood firm.
10The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations;
He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
11The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the purposes of His heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
13The Lord looks down from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
14From His dwelling place He gazes
on all who inhabit the earth.
15He shapes the hearts of each;
He considers all their works.
16No king is saved by his vast army;
no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
17A horse is a vain hope for salvation;
even its great strength cannot save.
18Surely the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him,
on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
19to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21For our hearts rejoice in Him,
since we trust in His holy name.
22May Your loving devotion rest on us, O Lord,
as we put our hope in You.
