Ps 33
1
A Psalm of David. - Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; praise becomes the upright.
2
Rather, «confess’ or «give thanks to’ Praise the Lord on the harp; platy to him on a psaltery of ten strings.
3
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
4
For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are Gr. in or with faithfulness faithful.
5
He loves mercy and judgement; the earth is full the mercy of the Lord.
6
By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by
the breath of his mouth.
7
Who gathers the waters of the sea as in a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.
8
Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because
of him.
9
For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
10
The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nothing also the reasonings
of the peoples, and brings to nothing the counsels of princes.
11
But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation
to generation.
12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his
own inheritance.
13
The Lord looks out of heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
14
He looks from his prepared habitation on all the dwellers on the earth;
15
who fashioned their hearts Perhaps, «individually’; Vulg. sigillatim alone; who understands all their works.
16
A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered
by the greatness of his strength.
17
A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his
power.
18
Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him, those that hope in his mercy;
19
to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20
Our soul waits on the Lord; for he is our helper and defender.
21
For our heart shall rejoice in him, and we have hoped in his holy name.
22
Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in you.
