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
1Let those who do good shout for joy—those who live right should praise him!
2Praise the Lord with the lyre, play music to him on the ten-stringed harp.
3Sing a new song to him; play your instruments well and shout for joy.
4For the word of the Lord is true,#33:4 Literally, “upright.” and he is trustworthy in everything he does.
5He loves all that is good and right; the earth is full of the Lord's trustworthy love.
6The Lord spoke the word and the heavens were made; his mouth breathed all the stars into existence.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together, he keeps the ocean depths in store.
8Let all the earth show reverence to the Lord; let all the world's inhabitants be in awe of him.
9For he spoke and the world came into existence; he gave the command and it was created.
10The Lord foils the decisions of the nations, he frustrates the plans of the peoples,
11But the Lord's plan stands forever—what he decides lasts for all generations.
12Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he has chosen as specially belonging#33:12. Literally, “inheritance.” to him.
13The Lord looks from heaven and sees the whole of humanity,
14from his throne he watches all those who live on earth.
15He created their minds,#33:15. Literally, “hearts.” so he knows everything they do.
16Even the greatest army cannot save a king; the greatest strength cannot save a warrior.
17Don't deceive yourself: a warhorse can't give you victory—even its incredible strength won't save you.
18The Lord watches over those who reverently follow him, those who place their hope in his trustworthy love
19to save them from death and to keep them alive when famine strikes.
20We place our confidence in the Lord; he is our help and our defender.#33:20. Literally, “shield.”
21We are so happy about him, for we trust in his holy character.
22Lord, let your trustworthy love rest upon us as we hope in you.
