Chapter Text
33:1 Sing for joy in Yahweh, O righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright.
33:2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.
33:3 Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a loud shout.
33:4 For the word of Yahweh is upright, And all His work is done in faithfulness.
33:5 He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Yahweh.
33:6 By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
33:8 Let all the earth fear Yahweh; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
33:9 For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it stood.
33:10 Yahweh nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the thoughts of the peoples.
33:11 The counsel of Yahweh stands forever, The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.
33:13 Yahweh looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men;
33:14 From the place of His habitation He gazes On all the inhabitants of the earth,
33:15 He who forms the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works.
33:16 The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
33:17 A horse is a false hope for salvation; Nor does it provide escape to anyone by its great strength.
33:18 Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear Him, On those who wait for His lovingkindness,
33:19 To deliver their soul from death And to keep them alive in famine.
33:20 Our soul is patient for Yahweh; He is our help and our shield.
33:21 For our heart is glad in Him, Because we trust in His holy name.
33:22 Let Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, be upon us, As we wait for You.
