| 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. --
