RLT - Psalms - 33

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

33:2  Praise Yhwh with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

33:3  Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

33:4  For the word of Yhwh is right; and all his works are done in truth.

33:5  He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of Yhwh.

33:6  By the word of Yhwh 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 an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

33:8  Let all the earth fear Yhwh: 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  Yhwh bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

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

33:12  Blessed is the nation whose God is Yhwh; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

33:13  Yhwh looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

33:14  From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

33:15  He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

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

33:17  An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

33:18  Behold, the eye of Yhwh is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

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

33:20  Our soul waiteth for Yhwh: he is our help and our shield.

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

33:22  Let thy mercy, O Yhwh, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
