Psalms 33

MKJV(i) 1 Rejoice in Jehovah, O righteous ones; praise is becoming for the upright. 2 Praise Jehovah with lyre; sing to Him with a harp of ten strings. 3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with shouts of joy. 4 For the Word of Jehovah is right; and all His works are in truth. 5 He loves righteousness and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of Jehovah. 6 By the Word of Jehovah were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. 7 He gathered the waters of the sea like a heap, setting the depths in storehouses. 8 Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the people of the world stand in awe of Him. 9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood. 10 Jehovah brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He breaks the plots of the people. 11 The counsel of Jehovah stands forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations. 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah; the people He has chosen for His inheritance. 13 Jehovah looks down from Heaven; He beholds all the sons of mankind. 14 From His dwelling place He looks on all the people of the earth. 15 Together He forms their hearts; His understanding is to all their works. 16 The king is not saved by a great army; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 17 A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither shall he deliver by his great strength. 18 Behold, the eye of Jehovah is to those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy; 19 to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. 20 Our soul waits for Jehovah; He is our help and our shield. 21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we trust in His holy name. 22 Let Your mercy, O Jehovah, be on us, according as we hope in You.
