The Book of Psalms, Chapter 33
|
1 |
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the
upright.
|
2 |
Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an
instrument of ten strings.
|
3 |
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
|
4 |
For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in
truth.
|
5 |
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the
goodness 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 gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth
up the depth in storehouses.
|
8 |
Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the
world stand in awe of him.
|
9 |
For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
|
10 |
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he
maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
|
11 |
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his
heart to all generations.
|
12 |
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom
he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
|
13 |
The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
|
14 |
From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the
inhabitants of the earth.
|
15 |
He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their
works.
|
16 |
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man
is not delivered by much strength.
|
17 |
An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver
any by his great strength.
|
18 |
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon
them that hope in his mercy;
|
19 |
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in
famine.
|
20 |
Our soul waiteth 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 thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
