Psalms 33

CLV(i) 1 Be jubilant, O righteous ones, in Yahweh; Praise is comely for the upright ones." 2 Acclaim Yahweh on a harp; On a zither of ten strings make melody to Him. 3 Sing to Him a new song; Be skillful to play with joyful shouting. 4 For upright is the word of Yahweh, And all His work is in faithfulness." 5 He is loving righteousness and right judgment; The earth is full of the benignity of Yahweh. 6 By the word of Yahweh, the heavens were made, And by the spirit of His mouth, all their host." 7 He is collecting the waters of the sea together as a waterspout, Bestowing the abyss in treasure vaults." 8 Let all the earth fear Yahweh; Let all those dwelling in the habitance revere Him. 9 For He spoke, and it came to be; He enjoined, and it stood firm." 10 Yahweh, He annuls the intrigue of the nations; He repudiates the devices of the peoples." 11 The counsel of Yahweh shall stand for the eon, The designs of His heart for generation after generation." 12 Happy is the nation that has Yahweh as its Elohim, The people He chooses as an allotment for Himself." 13 From the heavens Yahweh looks down; He sees all the sons of humanity. 14 From His established dwelling He peers Upon all those dwelling on the earth, 15 He Who is forming their hearts individually, Who is discerning all their doings." 16 The king is not saved by a great army; A master is not rescued by great vigor; 17 The horse is a false hope for salvation, And by its vast valor it cannot provide escape." 18 Behold, the eye of Yahweh is toward those fearing Him, Toward those waiting for His benignity, 19 To rescue their soul from death And to preserve them alive in famine. 20 Our soul tarries for Yahweh; He is our Help and our Shield. 21 For in Him our heart is rejoicing; For in His holy Name we trust. 22 O Yahweh, let Your benignity come to be upon us Even as we wait for You."
