Psalms 33
A psalm to David.
33:1Exult, O just ones, in the lord! To the upright praise is becoming.
33:2Make acknowledgment to the lord with the harp! With the ten-stringed psaltery strum to him!
33:3Sing to him a new song! Strum to him well with shouts!
33:4For the word of the lord is upright; and all his works in trust.
33:5The lord loves charity and equity; the earth is full of the mercy of the lord.
33:6By the word of the lord the heavens were solidified, and by the breath of his mouth all their force;
33:7bringing together as in a leather water bag the waters of the sea; putting in treasuries of the deeps.
33:8Fear the lord all the earth! and because of him let all the ones dwelling in the inhabitable world be shaken!
33:9For he spoke, and they came to pass; he gave charge, and they were created.
33:10The lord effaces plans of nations, and he annuls devices of peoples, and he annuls plans of rulers.
33:11But the counsel of the lord abides into the eon; the devices of his heart from generation and generation.
33:12Blessed is the nation of which the lord is its God; a people whom he chose for his own inheritance.
33:13From out of heaven the lord looks; he beholds all the sons of men.
33:14From his prepared home he looked upon all the ones dwelling on the earth.
33:15He is the one shaping their hearts alone; the one perceiving in all their works.
33:16A king is not delivered because of much force; and a giant shall not be delivered by the magnitude of his strength.
33:17A horse is a false hope for deliverance, and in the magnitude of its power one shall not be delivered.
33:18Behold, the eyes of the lord are upon the ones fearing him; the ones hoping upon his mercy;
33:19to rescue their souls from death, and to nourish them during famine.
33:20And our soul waits on the lord, for he is our helper and defender.
33:21For in him our heart shall be glad; and in his holy name we hope.
33:22May your mercy come, O lord, upon us, just as we hoped upon you.
