JPS - Psalms - 33

33:1  Rejoice in HaShem, O ye righteous, praise is comely for the upright.

33:2  Give thanks unto HaShem with harp, sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.

33:3  Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully amid shouts of joy.

33:4  For the word of HaShem is upright; and all His work is done in faithfulness.

33:5  He loveth righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness of HaShem.

33:6  By the word of HaShem were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.

33:7  He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses.

33:8  Let all the earth fear HaShem; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

33:9  For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it stood.

33:10  HaShem bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

33:11  The counsel of HaShem standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.

33:12  Happy is the nation whose G-d is HaShem; the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.

33:13  HaShem looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;

33:14  From the place of His habitation He looketh intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth;

33:15  He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings.

33:16  A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

33:17  A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.

33:18  Behold, the eye of HaShem is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy;

33:19  To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

33:20  Our soul hath waited for HaShem; He is our help and our shield.

33:21  For in Him doth our heart rejoice, because we have trusted in His holy name.

33:22  Let Thy mercy, O HaShem, be upon us, according as we have waited for Thee.
