33:1 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
33:2 Give thanks to Yahweh 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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh.
33:6 By Yahweh'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 Yahweh. 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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh
stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he
has chosen for his own inheritance.
33:13 Yahweh 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, Yahweh'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 Yahweh. 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, Yahweh, since we have
hoped in you.
