Chapter 33

  Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.  

-

  Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,  

-

  Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.  

-

  For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.  

-

  Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.  

-

  By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.  

-

  Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.  

-

  Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.  

-

  For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.  

-

  Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.  

-

  The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.  

-

  O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.  

-

  From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.  

-

  From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;  

-

  Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.  

-

  The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.  

-

  A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.  

-

  Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,  

-

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

-

  Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,  

-

  For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.  

-

  Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
