Psalms 33
|
| Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous: Praise is comely for the upright. | Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright. |
| Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings. | Give praise to the Lord on the corded instrument; make melody to him with instruments of music. |
| Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise. | Make a new song to him; playing expertly with a loud noise. |
| For the word of Jehovah is right; And all his work is [done] in faithfulness. | For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are certain. |
| He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah. | His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord. |
| By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. | By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth. |
| He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses. | He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses. |
| Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. | Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him. |
| For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. | For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever. |
| Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect. | The Lord undoes the designs of the nations; he makes the thoughts of the peoples without effect. |
| The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations. | The Lord's purpose is eternal, the designs of his heart go on through all the generations of man. |
| Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. | Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage. |
| Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men; | The Lord is looking down from heaven; he sees all the sons of men; |
| From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth, | From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth; |
| He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works. | He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him. |
| There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. | A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength. |
| A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power. | A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger. |
| Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness; | See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy; |
| To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. | To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need. |
| Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield. | Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation. |
| For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name. | For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope. |
| Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee. | Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you. |
