Psalms 33

1Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: {for} praise is comely for the upright.● 2Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery {and} an instrument of ten strings.● 3Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.● 4For the word of the LORD {is} right; and all his works {are done} in truth.● 5He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. {goodness: or, mercy}● 6By the word of the LORD 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 an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.● 8Let all the earth fear the LORD: 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.● 10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. {bringeth: Heb. maketh frustrate}● 11The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. {to all...: Heb. to generation and generation}● 12Blessed {is} the nation whose God {is} the LORD; {and} the people {whom} he hath chosen for his own inheritance.● 13The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.● 14From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.● 15He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.● 16There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.● 17An horse {is} a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver {any} by his great strength.● 18Behold, the eye of the LORD {is} upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;● 19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.● 20Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he {is} our help and our shield.● 21For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.● 22Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.●
