Psalms 33
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, praise is comely for the upright.
1For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way. [1 Kings 21]
2Give thanks unto the LORD with harp, sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.
2I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.
3Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully amid shouts of joy.
3In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.
4For the word of the LORD is upright; and all His work is done in faithfulness.
4O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.
5He loveth righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
5I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.
6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
6Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.
7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
7This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
8The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.
9For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it stood.
9O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.
10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
10Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
11The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.
11The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
12Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.
12Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
13The LORD looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
13Who is the man that desireth life: who loveth to see good days?
14From the place of His habitation He looketh intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
14Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
15He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings.
15Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it.
16A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
16The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers.
17A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.
17But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
18Behold, the eye of the LORD is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy;
18The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.
19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
19The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.
20Our soul hath waited for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
20Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.
21For in Him doth our heart rejoice, because we have trusted in His holy name.
21The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.
22Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited for Thee.
22The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty.
