Noyes - Psalms - 33

33:1  Rejoice, O ye righteous, in the LORD! For praise becometh the upright.

33:2  Praise the LORD with the harp; Sing to him with the ten-stringed psaltery!

33:3  Sing to him a new song; Play skilfully amid the sound of trumpets!

33:4  For the word of the LORD is right, And all his acts are faithful.

33:5  He loveth justice and equity; The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

33:6  By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, And all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.

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

33:8  Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!

33:9  For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

33:10  The LORD bringeth the devices of the nations to nothing; He frustrateth the designs of kingdoms.

33:11  The purposes of the LORD stand for ever; The designs of his heart, to all generations.

33:12  Happy the nation whose God is Jehovah; The people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.

33:13  The LORD looketh down from heaven; He beholdeth all the children of men;

33:14  From his dwelling-place he beholdeth all the inhabitants of the earth,—

33:15  He that formed the hearts of all, And observeth all their works.

33:16  A king is not saved by the number of his forces, Nor a hero by the greatness of his strength.

33:17  The horse is a vain thing for safety, Nor can he deliver his master by his great strength.

33:18  Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him,—Upon them that trust in his goodness;

33:19  To save them from the power of death, And keep them alive in famine.

33:20  The hope of our souls is in the LORD; He is our help and our shield.

33:21  Yea, in him doth our heart rejoice; In his holy name we have confidence.

33:22  May thy goodness be upon us, O LORD! According as we trust in thee!
