Psalm 33 Exultate, justi.
REJOICE in the LORD, O ye righteous; * for it becometh well the just to be thankful.
2Praise the LORD with harp; * sing praises unto him with the lute, and instrument of ten strings.
3Sing unto the LORD a new song; * sing praises lustily unto him with a good courage.
4For the word of the LORD is true; * and all his works are faithful.
5He loveth righteousness and judgment; * the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; * and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathereth the waters of the sea together, as it were upon an heap; * and layeth up the deep, as in a treasure-house.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD: * stand in awe of him, all ye that dwell in the world.
9For he spake, and it was done; * he commanded, and it stood fast.
10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought, * and maketh the devices of the people to be of none effect, and casteth out the counsels of princes.
11The counsel of the LORD shall endure for ever, * and the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord JEHOVAH; * and blessed are the folk that he hath chosen to him, to be his inheritance.
13The LORD looketh down from heaven, and beholdeth all the children of men; * from the habitation of his dwelling, he considereth all them that dwell on the earth.
14He fashioneth all the hearts of them, * and understandeth all their works.
15There is no king that can be saved by the multitude of an host; * neither is any mighty man delivered by much strength.
16A horse is counted but a vain thing to save a man; * neither shall he deliver any man by his great strength.
17Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, * and upon them that put their trust in his mercy;
18To deliver their soul from death, * and to feed them in the time of dearth.
19Our soul hath patiently tarried for the LORD; * for he is our help and our shield.
20For our heart shall rejoice in him; * because we have hoped in his holy Name.
21Let thy merciful kindness, O LORD, be upon us, * like as we do put our trust in thee.
