| Chapter 33 |
1 | Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.
|
2 | Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,
|
3 | Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.
|
4 | For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
|
5 | Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.
|
6 | By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
|
7 | Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.
|
8 | Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.
|
9 | For 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.
|
11 | The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.
|
12 | O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.
|
13 | From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.
|
14 | From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;
|
15 | Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.
|
16 | The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
|
17 | A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.
|
18 | Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
|
19 | To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.
|
20 | Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,
|
21 | For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
|
22 | Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
