Psalm 33

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹ ¶ Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, for to the upright praise is beautiful.

² Celebrate unto the LORD with harp; sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

³ Sing unto him a new song; play unto excellence with joy.

⁴ For the word of the LORD is right, and all his works are done in truth.

⁵ He loves righteousness and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the LORD.

⁶ By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

⁷ He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; he lays up the deeps for treasures.

⁸ Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

⁹ For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it came into being.

¹⁰ The LORD brings the counsel of the Gentiles to nought; he makes the devices of the peoples of no effect.

¹¹ The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

¹² ¶ Blessed is the people whose God is the LORD; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

¹³ The LORD looked from heaven; he saw all the sons of Adam.

¹⁴ From the place of his habitation he looked upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

¹⁵ He fashioned all of their hearts; he considers all their works.

¹⁶ The king is not saved by the multitude of the army; the mighty man does not escape by much strength.

¹⁷ A horse is a vain thing for salvation; neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

¹⁸ Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those that fear him, upon those that wait for his mercy

¹⁹ to deliver their souls from death and to keep them alive in the famine.

²⁰ Our soul waited for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.

²¹ Therefore our heart shall rejoice in him because we have trusted in the name of his holiness.

²² Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited upon thee.
