Chapter 33 | |
1 | Rejoice in YHVH, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. |
2 | Praise YHVH with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. |
3 | Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. |
4 | For the word of YHVH is right; and all his works are done in truth. |
5 | He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of YHVH. |
6 | By the word of YHVH 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 an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. |
8 | Let all the earth fear YHVH: 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 | YHVH bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. |
11 | The counsel of YHVH standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. |
12 | Blessed is the nation whose ELOHIYM is YHVH; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. |
13 | YHVH looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. |
14 | From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. |
15 | He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. |
16 | There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. |
17 | An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. |
18 | Behold, the eye of YHVH is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; |
19 | To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. |
20 | Our soul waiteth for YHVH: 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 mercy, O YHVH, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. |
