Psalms 33
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 an 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 an host: a mighty man is not delivered * by much strength.
17. An 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.
