| Chapter 33 |
1 |
Sing, ye righteous, in Yehovah, For upright ones praise is comely. |
2 |
Give ye thanks to Yehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him, |
3 |
Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting. |
4 |
For upright is the word of Yehovah, And all His work is in faithfulness. |
5 |
Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Yehovah is the earth full. |
6 |
By the word of Yehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host. |
7 |
Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths. |
8 |
Afraid of Yehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid. |
9 |
For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth. |
10 |
Yehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples. |
11 |
The counsel of Yehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations. |
12 |
O the happiness of the nation whose God is Yehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him. |
13 |
From the heavens hath Yehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men. |
14 |
From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth; |
15 |
Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works. |
16 |
The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power. |
17 |
A false thing is the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver. |
18 |
Lo, the eye of Yehovah is to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness, |
19 |
To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine. |
20 |
Our soul hath waited for Yehovah, Our help and our shield is He, |
21 |
For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted. |
22 |
Let Thy kindness, O Yehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee! |
