Psalms 33

1Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous: Praise is comely for the upright.● 2Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.● 3Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise.● 4For the word of Jehovah is right; And all his work is `done' in faithfulness.● 5He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.● 6By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.● 7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.● 8Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.● 9For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.● 10Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.● 11The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.● 12Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.● 13Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;● 14From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,● 15He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works.● 16There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.● 17A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.● 18Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;● 19To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.● 20Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.● 21For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.● 22Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee. Psalm 34 A Psalm of David; when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.●
