# Chapter 33
|
|
1 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous!
|
|
For praise from the upright is beautiful.
|
|
2 Praise the Lord with the harp;
|
|
Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
|
|
3 Sing to Him a new song;
|
|
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
|
|
4 For the word of the Lord is right,
|
|
And all His work is done in truth.
|
|
5 He loves righteousness and justice;
|
|
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
|
|
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were 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 deep 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 spoke, and it was done;
|
|
He commanded, and it stood fast.
|
|
10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
|
|
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
|
|
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
|
|
The plans of His heart to all generations.
|
|
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
|
|
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
|
|
13 The Lord looks from heaven;
|
|
He sees all the sons of men.
|
|
14 From the place of His dwelling He looks
|
|
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
|
|
15 He fashions their hearts individually;
|
|
He considers all their works.
|
|
16 No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
|
|
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
|
|
17 A horse is a vain hope for safety;
|
|
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
|
|
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on 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 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 Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
|
|
Just as we hope in You. |
