Psalms 33

¹Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth vpright men to be thankefull.

²Prayse the Lord with harpe: sing vnto him with viole and instrument of ten strings.

³Sing vnto him a newe song: sing cheerefully with a loude voyce.

⁴For the word of the Lord is righteous, and all his workes are faithfull.

⁵He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.

⁶By the worde of the Lord were the heauens made, and all the hoste of them by the breath of his mouth.

⁷He gathereth the waters of the sea together as vpon an heape, and layeth vp the depths in his treasures.

⁸Let all the earth feare the Lord: let al them that dwell in the world, feare him.

⁹For he spake, and it was done: he commanded, and it stood.

¹⁰The Lord breaketh the counsell of the heathen, and bringeth to nought the deuices of the people.

¹¹The counsell of the Lord shall stand for euer, and the thoughts of his heart throughout all ages.

¹²Blessed is that nation, whose God is the Lord: euen the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance.

¹³The Lord looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the children of men.

¹⁴From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.

¹⁵He facioneth their hearts euery one, and vnderstandeth all their workes.

¹⁶The King is not saued by the multitude of an hoste, neither is the mightie man deliuered by great strength.

¹⁷A horse is a vaine helpe, and shall not deliuer any by his great strength.

¹⁸Beholde, the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him, and vpon them, that trust in his mercie,

¹⁹To deliuer their soules from death, and to preserue them in famine.

²⁰Our soule waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helpe and our shielde.

²¹Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we trusted in his holy Name.

²²Let thy mercie, O Lord, be vpon vs, as we trust in thee.

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.

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.

¹¹The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

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.
