< Chapter 33 >

 
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
33:2
 
Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
33:3
 
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
33:4
 
For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
33:5
 
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
33:6
 
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
33:7
 
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
33:8
 
Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
33:9
 
For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
33:10
 
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
33:11
 
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
33:12
 
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
33:13
 
The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
33:14
 
From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
33:15
 
He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
33:16
 
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
33:17
 
An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
33:18
 
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
33:19
 
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
33:20
 
Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
33:21
 
For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
33:22
 
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
