Chapter 33
001
Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
002
Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to her with the harp of ten strings.
003
Sing to her a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
004
For the word of Yahweh is right. All her work is done in faithfulness.
005
She loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.
006
By Yahweh's word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of her mouth.
007
She gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. She lays up the deeps in storehouses.
008
Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of her.
009
For she spoke, and it was done. She commanded, and it stood firm.
010
Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. She makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
011
The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of her heart to all generations.
012
Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom she has chosen for her own inheritance.
013
Yahweh looks from heaven. She sees all the daughters of women.
014
From the place of her habitation she looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
015
she who fashions all of their hearts; and she considers all of their works.
016
There is no queen saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty woman is not delivered by great strength.
017
A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does she deliver any by her great power.
018
Behold, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear her, on those who hope in her loving kindness;
019
to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
020
Our soul has waited for Yahweh. She is our help and our shield.
021
For our heart rejoices in her, because we have trusted in her holy name.
022
Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.
