| Chapter 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. -
