Psalm 33
New King James Version
The Sovereignty of the Lord in Creation and History
33 Rejoice (A)in the Lord, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.
2 Praise the Lord with the harp;
[a]Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4 For the word of the Lord is right,
And all His work is done in truth.
5 He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6 (B)By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the (C)host of them (D)by the breath of His mouth.
7 (E)He gathers the waters of the sea together [b]as a heap;
He lays up the deep in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9 For (F)He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
10 (G)The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11 (H)The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has (I)chosen as His own inheritance.
13 (J)The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He fashions their hearts individually;
(K)He [c]considers all their works.
16 (L)No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 (M)A horse is a [d]vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
18 (N)Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death,
And (O)to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the Lord;
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 Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.

Psalm 33
New American Standard Bible
Praise to the Creator and Protector.
33 (A)Sing for joy in the Lord, you righteous ones;
Praise is (B)becoming to the upright.
2 Give thanks to the Lord with the (C)lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a (D)harp of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a (E)new song;
Play skillfully with (F)a shout of joy.
4 For the word of the Lord (G)is right,
And all His work is done (H)in faithfulness.
5 He (I)loves righteousness and justice;
The (J)earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6 By the (K)word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And (L)by the breath of His mouth (M)all their [a]lights.
7 He gathers the (N)waters of the sea together [b]as a heap;
He puts the depths in storehouses.
8 Let (O)all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world (P)stand in awe of Him.
9 For (Q)He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it [c]stood firm.
10 The Lord (R)nullifies the plan of nations;
He frustrates the plans of peoples.
11 The (S)plan of the Lord stands forever,
The (T)plans of His heart from generation to generation.
12 Blessed is the (U)nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has (V)chosen for His own inheritance.
13 The Lord (W)looks from heaven;
He (X)sees all the sons of mankind;
14 From (Y)His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 He who (Z)fashions [d]the hearts of them all,
He who (AA)understands all their works.
16 (AB)The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not rescued by great strength.
17 A (AC)horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it rescue anyone by its great strength.
18 Behold, (AD)the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who (AE)wait for His faithfulness,
19 To (AF)rescue their soul from death
And to keep them alive (AG)in famine.
20 Our soul (AH)waits for the Lord;
He is our (AI)help and our shield.
21 For our (AJ)heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
22 Let Your favor, Lord, be upon us,
Just as we have waited for You.

詩篇 33
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
頌讚之歌
33 義人啊，
你們要歡然歌頌耶和華，
正直的人理應讚美祂。
2 你們要彈琴讚美耶和華，
彈奏十弦琴讚美祂。
3 要為祂唱新歌，
琴聲要美妙，歌聲要嘹亮。
4 因為耶和華的話是真理，
祂的作為信實可靠。
5 祂喜愛公平正義，
大地充滿祂的慈愛。
6 諸天靠祂的話而造，
群星靠祂口中的氣而成。
7 祂將海水聚在一處，把汪洋收進倉庫。
8 願普世都敬畏耶和華！
願世人都尊崇祂！
9 因為祂一發話，就創造了天地；
祂一命令，就立定了萬物。
10 祂挫敗列國的謀算，
攔阻列邦的計劃。
11 祂的計劃永不落空，
祂的旨意萬代長存。
12 尊祂為上帝的邦國有福了！
蒙揀選做祂子民的人有福了！
13 祂從天上俯視人間，
14 從祂的居所察看世上萬民。
15 祂塑造人心，
洞察人的一切行為。
16 君王不能靠兵多取勝，
勇士不能憑力大獲救。
17 靠戰馬取勝實屬妄想，
馬雖力大也不能救人。
18 但耶和華看顧敬畏祂、仰望祂慈愛的人。
19 祂救他們脫離死亡，
保護他們度過饑荒。
20 我們仰望耶和華，
祂是我們的幫助，
是我們的盾牌。
21 我們信靠祂的聖名，
我們的心因祂而充滿喜樂。
22 耶和華啊，我們仰望你，求你向我們施慈愛。
