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.
1For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way#2 Kings 21..
2I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.
3In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.
4O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.
5I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.
6Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.
7This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.
8The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.
9O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.
10Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
11The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
12Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
13Who is the man that desireth life: who loveth to see good days?
14Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
15Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it.
16The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers.
17But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
18The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.
19The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.
20Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.
21The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.
22The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty.
23The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend.
