Psalm 33

Yahweh Is Our Help and Our Shield

33aSing for joy in Yahweh, O righteous ones;Praise is bbecoming to the upright.2Give thanks to Yahweh with the alyre;Sing praises to Him with a bharp of ten strings.3Sing to Him a anew song;Play skillfully with ba loud shout.4For the word of Yahweh ais upright,And all His work is done bin faithfulness.5He aloves righteousness and justice;The bearth is full of the lovingkindness of Yahweh.6By the aword of Yahweh the heavens were made,And bby the breath of His mouth call their host.7He gathers the awaters of the sea 1as a heap;He lays up the deeps in storehouses.8Let aall the earth fear Yahweh;Let all the inhabitants of the world bstand in awe of Him.9For aHe spoke, and it was;He commanded, and it 1stood.10Yahweh anullifies the counsel of the nations;He frustrates the thoughts of the peoples.11The acounsel of Yahweh stands forever,The bthoughts of His heart from generation to generation.12Blessed is the anation whose God is Yahweh,The people whom He has bchosen for His own inheritance.13Yahweh alooks from heaven;He bsees all the sons of men;14From athe place of His habitation He gazesOn all the inhabitants of the earth,15He who aforms 1the hearts of them all,He who bunderstands all their works.16aThe king is not saved by a mighty army;A warrior is not delivered by great strength.17A ahorse is a false hope for salvation;Nor does it provide escape to anyone by its great strength.18Behold, athe eye of Yahweh is on those who fear Him,On those who bwait for His lovingkindness,19To adeliver their soul from deathAnd to keep them alive bin famine.20Our soul ais patient for Yahweh;He is our bhelp and our shield.21For our aheart is glad in Him,Because we trust in His holy name.22Let Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, be upon us,As we wait for You.
