Chapter 33 | |
1 | Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous: Praise is comely for the upright. |
2 | Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings. |
3 | Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise. |
4 | For the word of Jehovah is right; And all his work is done in faithfulness. |
5 | He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah. |
6 | By the word of Jehovah 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 a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses. |
8 | Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. |
9 | For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. |
10 | Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect. |
11 | The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations. |
12 | Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. |
13 | Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men; |
14 | From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth, |
15 | He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works. |
16 | There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. |
17 | A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power. |
18 | Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness; |
19 |
To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. |
20 | Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield. |
21 | For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name. |
22 | Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee. |
