Psalms 33. Exultate, justi.
REJOICE in the LORD, O ye righteous; * for it becometh well the
just to be thankful.
2 Praise the LORD with harp; * sing praises unto him with the
lute, and instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing unto the Lord a new song; * sing praises lustily unto
him with a good courage.
4 For the word of the LORD is true; * and all his works are faithful.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment; * the earth is full of
the goodness of the LORD.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; * and all the
host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together, as it were upon
an heap; * and layeth up the deep, as in a treasure-house.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: * stand in awe of him, all
ye that dwell in the world.
9 For he spake, and it was done; * he commanded, and it stood
fast.
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought, *
and maketh the devices of the people to be of none effect, and
casteth out the counsels of princes.
11 The counsel of the LORD shall endure for ever, * and the thoughts
of his heart from generation to generation.
12 Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord JEHOVAH; * and
blessed are the folk that he hath chosen to him, to be his inheritance.
13 The LORD looketh down from heaven, and beholdeth all the children
of men; * from the habitation of his dwelling, he considereth
all them that dwell on the earth.
14 He fashioneth all the hearts of them, * and understandeth
all their works.
15 There is no king that can be saved by the multitude of an
host; * neither is any mighty man delivered by much strength.
16 A horse is counted but a vain thing to save a man; * neither
shall he deliver any man by his great strength.
17 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, *
and upon them that put their trust in his mercy;
18 To deliver their soul from death, * and to feed them in the
time of dearth.
19 Our soul hath patiently tarried for the LORD; * for he is
our help and our shield.
20 For our heart shall rejoice in him; * because we have hoped
in his holy Name.
21 Let thy merciful kindness, O LORD, be upon us, * like as we
do put our trust in thee.
