Chapter 33

  Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.  

-

  Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.  

-

  Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!  

-

  For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.  

-

  He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Yahweh.  

-

  By the word of Yahweh were the heavens made, All the host of them by the breath of his mouth.  

-

  He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.  

-

  Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.  

-

  For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.  

-

  Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.  

-

  The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.  

-

  Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, The people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.  

-

  Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.  

-

  From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth.  

-

  He who fashions all of their hearts. He considers all of their works.  

-

  There is no king saved by the multitude of a host. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.  

-

  A horse is a vain thing for safety, Neither does he deliver any by his great power.  

-

  Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him, On those who hope in his lovingkindness;  

-

  To deliver their soul from death, To keep them alive in famine.  

-

  Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.  

-

  For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.  

-

  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.
