Psalm Chapter 33 Back NextPsalm 33
{33:1} Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
{33:2} Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the
harp of ten strings.
{33:3} Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
{33:4} For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in
faithfulness.
{33:5} He loves righteousness and justice. The
earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.
{33:6} By Yahweh's word, the
heavens were made; all their
army by the breath of his mouth.
{33:7} He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
{33:8} Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
{33:9} For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
{33:10} Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
{33:11} The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his
heart to all generations.
{33:12}
Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
{33:13} Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
{33:14} From the place of his
habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
{33:15} he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
{33:16} There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
{33:17} A
horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
{33:18} Behold, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, on those who
hope in his loving kindness;
{33:19} to deliver their soul from
death, to keep them alive in
famine.
{33:20} Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.
{33:21} For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
{33:22} Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.
