Chapter 33

33:1

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.

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.

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
