Psalms - Chapter 33

¹ Shout for joy, you upright; praise comes well from the honest.

² Give thanks to Yahweh on the lyre, play for him on the ten-stringed lyre.

³ Sing to him a new song, make sweet music for your cry of victory.

⁴ The word of Yahweh is straightforward, all he does springs from his constancy.

⁵ He loves uprightness and justice; the faithful love of Yahweh fills the earth.

⁶ By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made, by the breath of his mouth all their array.

⁷ He collects the waters of the sea like a dam, he stores away the abyss in his treasure-house.

⁸ Let the whole earth fear Yahweh, let all who dwell in the world revere him;

⁹ for, the moment he spoke, it was so, no sooner had he commanded, than there it stood!

¹⁰ Yahweh thwarts the plans of nations, frustrates the counsels of peoples;

¹¹ but Yahweh's own plan stands firm for ever, his heart's counsel from age to age.

¹² How blessed the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people he has chosen as his heritage.

¹³ From heaven Yahweh looks down, he sees all the children of Adam,

¹⁴ from the place where he sits he watches all who dwell on the earth;

¹⁵ he alone moulds their hearts, he understands all they do.

¹⁶ A large army will not keep a king safe, nor his strength save a warrior's life;

¹⁷ it is delusion to rely on a horse for safety, for all its power it cannot save.

¹⁸ But see how Yahweh watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his faithful love,

¹⁹ to rescue them from death and keep them alive in famine.

²⁰ We are waiting for Yahweh; he is our help and our shield,

²¹ for in him our heart rejoices, in his holy name we trust.

²² Yahweh, let your faithful love rest on us, as our hope has rested in you.
