Psalms 33

Thomson(i) 1 By David. Rejoice ye righteous in the Lord: praise becometh the upright. 2 Praise the Lord with the kithara; with the ten stringed psaltery sing praises to him. 3 Sing to him a new song; sing in harmonious and triumphant strains. 4 For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are true. 5 He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord. 6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were established, and all their host by the breath of his mouth. 7 He gathered as in a vessel the waters of the sea; he laid up the deeps in store houses. 8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; and all the inhabitants of the World stand in awe of him; 9 for he spake and they were brought into being: he commanded and they were created. 10 The Lord dissipateth the counsels of nations, and disannulleth the devices of peoples. He disannulleth also the counsels of chiefs. 11 But the counsel of the Lord shall endure forever, the thoughts of his heart from generations to generations. 12 Happy is the nation, whose God is the Lord; the people, whom he hath chosen for his heritage. 13 Out of heaven the Lord looked down; he took a view of all the children of men. 14 He looked down from his fixed habitation on all the inhabitants of the earth. 15 It is he alone who formed their hearts: he knoweth completely all their works. 16 A king is not saved because of a numerous army: nor can a giant be saved by his abundant strength. 17 A horse is a false thing for safety; nor can he with all his power save himself. 18 Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them who fear him; on them who confide in his mercy; 19 to deliver their souls from death; and to nourish them in a famine. 20 Let our soul wait for the Lord; because he is our helper and our protector. 21 Because by him our heart can be made glad, therefore in his holy name we have trusted. 22 Let thy mercy, Lord, be upon us as we have put our trust in thee.
