| Chapter 33 |
1 |
Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely. --
|
2 |
Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him, --
|
3 |
Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting. --
|
4 |
For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness. --
|
5 |
Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full. --
|
6 |
By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host. --
|
7 |
Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths. --
|
8 |
Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid. --
|
9 |
For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth. --
|
10 |
Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples. --
|
11 |
The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations. --
|
12 |
O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him. --
|
13 |
From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men. --
|
14 |
From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth; --
|
15 |
Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works. --
|
16 |
The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power. --
|
17 |
A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver. --
|
18 |
Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness, --
|
19 |
To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine. --
|
20 |
Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He, --
|
21 |
For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted. --
|
22 |
Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee! --
