LEB - Psalms - 33

33:1  Exult in Yahweh, O you righteous, for praise is fitting for the upright.

33:2  Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre; with a harp of ten strings play to him.

33:3  Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with jubilant shout.

33:4  For the word of Yahweh is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness.

33:5  He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loyal love of Yahweh.

33:6  By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host.

33:7  He gathered the waters of the sea like a heap. He put the deeps in storehouses.

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

33:9  For ⌞he himself spoke⌟ and it came to pass. ⌞He himself commanded⌟ and it stood firm.

33:10  Yahweh brings to nothing the plan of nations; he frustrates the intents of peoples.

33:11  The plan of Yahweh stands firm forever, the intents of his heart ⌞from one generation to the next⌟.

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

33:13  From heaven Yahweh looks; he sees all the children of humankind.

33:14  From his dwelling place he gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth,

33:15  he who fashions altogether their heart, he who understands all their works.

33:16  The king is not saved by the greatness of an army. The warrior is not delivered by the greatness of strength.

33:17  The horse is a false hope for victory, nor can it save by the greatness of its power.

33:18  Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him, on those who hope for his loyal love

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

33:20  Our soul waits for Yahweh; he is our help and our shield.

33:21  For in him our heart rejoices because in his holy name we trust.

33:22  Let your loyal love, O Yahweh, be upon us, ⌞even as⌟ we hope in you.
