| 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. |
