Chapter 33

  Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.  

-

  Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.  

-

  Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.  

-

  For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.  

-

  He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah.  

-

  By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.  

-

  He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.  

-

  Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.  

-

  For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.  

-

  Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.  

-

  The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.  

-

  Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!  

-

  Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:  

-

  From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;  

-

  He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.  

-

  The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.  

-

  The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.  

-

  Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,  

-

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

-

  Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.  

-

  For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.  

-

  Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
