Psalm 33

REJOICE in the LORD, O ye righteous; * for it be-cometh well the just to be thankful. Praise the LORD with harp; * sing praises unto him with the lute, and instrument of ten strings. Sing unto the Lord a new song; * sing praises lustily unto him with a good courage. For the word of the LORD is true; * and all his works are faithful. He loveth righteousness and judgment; * the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. By the word of the LORD 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 it were upon an heap; * and layeth up the deep, as in a treasure-house. Let all the earth fear the LORD: * stand in awe of him, all ye that dwell in the world. For he spake, and it was done; * he commanded, and it stood fast. The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought, * and maketh the devices of the people to be of none effect, and casteth out the counsels of princes. The counsel of the LORD shall endure for ever, * and the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation. Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord JEHOVAH; * and blessed are the folk that he hath chosen to him, to be his inheritance. The LORD looketh down from heaven, and beholdeth all the children of men; * from the habitation of his dwelling, he considereth all them that dwell on the earth. He fashioneth all the hearts of them, * and under-standeth all their works. There is no king that can be saved by the multitude of an host; * neither is any mighty man delivered by much strength. A horse is counted but a vain thing to save a man; * neither shall he deliver any man by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, * and upon them that put their trust in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, * and to feed them in the time of dearth. Our soul hath patiently tarried for the LORD; * for he is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in him; * because we have hoped in his holy Name. Let thy merciful kindness, O LORD, be upon us, * like as we do put our trust in thee.

Psalm 33

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the
upright.

Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an
instrument of ten strings.

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

For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in
truth.

He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the
goodness of the LORD.

By the word of the LORD 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 an heap: he layeth
up the depth in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the
world stand in awe of him.

For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he
maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his
heart to all generations.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom
he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

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

He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their
works.

There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man
is not delivered by much strength.

An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver
any by his great strength.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon
them that hope in his mercy;

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

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

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

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
