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 to the Creator and Preserver.
1Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright [in heart—those with moral integrity and godly character].
2Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;
Sing praises to Him with the harp of ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully [on the strings] with a loud and joyful sound.
4For the word of the Lord is right;
And all His work is done in faithfulness.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.
6By the word of the Lord were the heavens made,
And all their host by the breath of His mouth.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together as in a wineskin;
He puts the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear and worship 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 stood fast.
10The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He makes the thoughts and plans of the people ineffective.
11The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The thoughts and plans of His heart through all generations.
12Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance.
13The Lord looks [down] from heaven;
He sees all the sons of man;
14From His dwelling place He looks closely
Upon all the inhabitants of the earth—
15He who fashions the hearts of them all,
Who considers and understands all that they do.
16The king is not saved by the great size of his army;
A warrior is not rescued by his great strength.
17A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
18Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],
On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness,
19To rescue their lives from death
And keep them alive in famine.
20We wait [expectantly] for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21For in Him our heart rejoices,
Because we trust [lean on, rely on, and are confident] in His holy name.
22Let Your [steadfast] lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us,
In proportion as we have #I.e. placed our confidence.hoped in You.
