BBE - Psalms - 33

33:1  Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright.

33:2  Give praise to the Lord on the corded instrument; make melody to him with instruments of music.

33:3  Make a new song to him; playing expertly with a loud noise.

33:4  For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are certain.

33:5  His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

33:6  By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.

33:7  He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.

33:8  Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.

33:9  For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.

33:10  The Lord undoes the designs of the nations; he makes the thoughts of the peoples without effect.

33:11  The Lord's purpose is eternal, the designs of his heart go on through all the generations of man.

33:12  Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage.

33:13  The Lord is looking down from heaven; he sees all the sons of men;

33:14  From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;

33:15  He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him.

33:16  A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.

33:17  A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.

33:18  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;

33:19  To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need.

33:20  Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.

33:21  For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope.

33:22  Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.
