NHEBJE - Psalms - 33

33:1  Rejoice in Jehovah, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.

33:2  Give thanks to Jehovah with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.

33:3  Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!

33:4  For the word of Jehovah is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.

33:5  He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Jehovah.

33:6  By Jehovah's word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth.

33:7  He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

33:8  Let all the earth fear Jehovah. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

33:9  For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.

33:10  Jehovah brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

33:11  The counsel of Jehovah stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

33:12  Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

33:13  Jehovah looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.

33:14  From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,

33:15  he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.

33:16  There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

33:17  A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.

33:18  Behold, Jehovah's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness;

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

33:20  Our soul has waited for Jehovah. He is our help and our shield.

33:21  For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

33:22  Let your loving kindness be on us, Jehovah, since we have hoped in you.
