Psalms 33
1Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous; 1 praise is appropriate for the upright. 1
2Give thanks to Yahweh with the harp; 1 sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings. 1
3Sing to him a new song; 1 play skillfully and sing with joy. 1
4For Yahweh's word is upright, 1 and everything he does is fair. 1
5He loves righteousness and justice. 1 The earth is full of Yahweh's covenant faithfulness. 1
6By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made, 1 and all the stars were made by the breath of his mouth. 1
7He gathers the waters of the sea together like a heap; 1 he puts the oceans in storehouses. 1
8Let the whole earth fear Yahweh; 1 let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 1
9For he spoke, and it was done; 1 he commanded, and it stood in place. 1
10Yahweh frustrates the alliances of nations; 1 he overrules the plans of the peoples. 1
11The plans of Yahweh stand forever, 1 the plans of his heart for all generations. 1
12Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, 1 the people whom he has chosen as his own inheritance. 1
13Yahweh looks from heaven; 1 he sees all the people. 1
14From the place where he lives, 1 he looks down on all who live on the earth. 1
15He who shapes the hearts of them all 1 observes all their deeds. 1
16No king is saved by a vast army; 1 a warrior is not saved by his great strength. 1
17A horse is a false hope for victory; 1 in spite of his great strength, he cannot rescue. 1
18See, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, 1 on those who hope in his covenant faithfulness 1
19to deliver their lives from death 1 and to keep them alive in times of famine. 1
20We wait for Yahweh; 1 he is our help and our shield. 1
21Our hearts rejoice in him, 1 for we trust in his holy name. 1
22Let your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, be with us 1 as we put our hope in you.
