Psalm 33
Praise to the Creator
and Preserver |
1 |
Rejoice in the LORD,
O ye righteous:
|
for praise is comely for the
upright. |
|
|
2 |
Praise the LORD with
harp:
|
sing unto him with the psaltery and an
instrument of ten
strings. |
|
|
3 |
Sing unto him a new song;
|
play skilfully with a loud noise.
|
|
|
4 |
For the word of the LORD is right;
|
and all his works are done in
truth. |
|
|
5 |
He loveth righteousness and judgment:
|
the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
|
|
|
6 |
By the word of the LORD 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 depth in storehouses.
|
|
|
8 |
Let all the earth fear the LORD:
|
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of
him. |
|
|
9 |
For he spake, and it was done;
|
he commanded, and it stood fast.
|
|
|
10 |
The LORD bringeth
the counsel of the heathen to nought:
|
he maketh the devices of the people of none
effect. |
|
|
11 |
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever,
|
the thoughts of his heart to all
generations. |
|
|
12 |
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD;
|
and the people whom he hath chosen for
his own inheritance.
|
|
|
13 |
The LORD looketh
from heaven;
|
he beholdeth all the sons of
men. |
|
|
14 |
From the place of his habitation he
looketh
|
upon all the inhabitants of the
earth. |
|
|
15 |
He fashioneth their hearts alike;
|
he considereth all their
works. |
|
|
16 |
There is no king saved by the multitude
of a host:
|
a mighty man is not delivered by much
strength. |
|
|
17 |
A horse is a vain thing for
safety:
|
neither shall he deliver any by his great
strength.
|
|
|
18 |
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him,
|
upon them that hope in his
mercy; |
|
|
19 |
to deliver their soul from death,
|
and to keep them alive in famine.
|
|
|
20 |
Our soul waiteth for the LORD:
|
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 thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us,
|
according as we hope in
thee. |
