| Chapter 33 |
1 | Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.
|
2 | Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.
|
3 | Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.
|
4 | For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.
|
5 | He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah.
|
6 | By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
|
7 | He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
|
8 | Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
|
9 | For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
|
10 | Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.
|
11 | The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
|
12 | Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!
|
13 | Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:
|
14 | From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
|
15 | He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.
|
16 | The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
|
17 | The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.
|
18 | Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,
|
19 | To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
|
20 | Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.
|
21 | For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.
|
22 | Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
