Psalm 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.
