| Chapter 33 |
1 | Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
|
2 | Praise the LORD with harp: sing to him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
|
3 | Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
|
4 | For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
|
5 | He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
|
6 | By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
|
7 | He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: he layeth up the depth in store-houses.
|
8 | Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
|
9 | For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
|
10 | The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to naught: he maketh the devices of the people of no effect.
|
11 | The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
|
12 | Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
|
13 | The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
|
14 | From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
|
15 | He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
|
16 | There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
|
17 | A horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
|
18 | Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
|
19 | To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
|
20 | Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
|
21 | For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
|
22 | Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
