Psalms 33

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
1Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.
2Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,
3Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.
4For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
5Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.
6By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
7Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.
8Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.
9For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.
10 Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
11The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.
12O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.
13From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.
14From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;
15Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.
16The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
17A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.
18Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
19To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,
21For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
22Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
