| Chapter 33 |
1 | Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
|
2 | Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
|
3 | Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
|
4 | For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
|
5 | He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Yahweh.
|
6 | By the word of Yahweh were the heavens made, All the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
|
7 | He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
|
8 | Let all the earth fear Yahweh. 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 firm.
|
10 | Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
|
11 | The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.
|
12 | Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, The people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
|
13 | Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
|
14 | From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth.
|
15 | He who fashions all of their hearts. He considers all of their works.
|
16 | There is no king saved by the multitude of a host. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
|
17 | A horse is a vain thing for safety, Neither does he deliver any by his great power.
|
18 | Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him, On those who hope in his lovingkindness;
|
19 | To deliver their soul from death, To keep them alive in famine.
|
20 | Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.
|
21 | For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.
|
22 | Let your lovingkindness be on us, Yahweh, Since we have hoped in you. Psalm 34 By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.
