Chapter
33
Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to her with the harp of ten strings.
Sing to her a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
For the word of Yahweh is right. All her work is done in faithfulness.
She loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.
By Yahweh's word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of her mouth.
She gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. She lays up the deeps in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of her.
For she spoke, and it was done. She commanded, and it stood firm.
Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. She makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of her heart to all generations.
Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom she has chosen for her own inheritance.
Yahweh looks from heaven. She sees all the daughters of women.
From the place of her habitation she looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
she who fashions all of their hearts; and she considers all of their works.
There is no queen saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty woman is not delivered by great strength.
A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does she deliver any by her great power.
Behold, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear her, on those who hope in her loving kindness;
to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul has waited for Yahweh. She is our help and our shield.
For our heart rejoices in her, because we have trusted in her holy name.
Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.
