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
PSALM 33
1Ye just [or rightwise] men, have fully joy [or full out joyeth] in the Lord; praising altogether becometh rightful [or right] men.
2Acknowledge ye to the Lord in an harp; sing ye to him in a psaltery of ten strings.
3Sing ye to him a new song; say ye well psalm to him in crying [out].
4For the word of the Lord is rightful [or right]; and all his works be in faithfulness.
5He loveth mercy and doom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6Heavens be made steadfast by the word of the Lord; and all the virtue of those [or them] by the spirit of his mouth.
7And he gathered together the waters of the sea as in a bouget or a bottle; and he setteth deep waters in treasures.
8All earth dread the Lord; soothly all men inhabiting the world be moved of him.
9For he said, and things were made; he commanded, and things were made of nought.
10The Lord destroyeth the counsels of folks, forsooth he reproveth the thoughts of peoples; and he reproveth the counsels of princes.
11But the counsel of the Lord dwelleth without end; the thoughts of his heart dwell in generation and into generation.
12Blessed is the folk, whose Lord is his God; the people which he chose into heritage to himself.
13The Lord beheld from heaven; he saw all the sons of men.
14From his dwelling place made ready before; he beheld on all men, that inhabit the earth.
15Which made singularly, either each by himself, the souls of them; which understandeth all the works of them.
16A king is not saved by much virtue, that is, strength; and a giant shall not be saved in the muchliness of his virtue.
17An horse is false to health; for-sooth he shall not be saved in the abundance, either plenty, of his virtue.
18Lo! the eyes of the Lord be on men dreading him; and in them that hope in his mercy.
19That he deliver their souls from death; and feed them in hunger.
20Our soul suffereth the Lord, that is, abideth patiently his will; for he is our helper and defender.
21For our heart shall be glad in him; and we shall have hope in his holy name.
22Lord, thy mercy be made on us; as we hoped in thee.
