Psalm 33
HCSB Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Holman Christian Standard BibleNew International Version
1Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones; praise from the upright is beautiful. 1Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2Praise the LORD with the lyre; make music to Him with a ten-stringed harp. 2Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3Sing a new song to Him; play skillfully on the strings, with a joyful shout. 3Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4For the word of the LORD is right, and all His work is trustworthy. 4For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
5He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the LORD's unfailing love. 5The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6The heavens were made by the word of the LORD, and all the stars, by the breath of His mouth. 6By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathers the waters of the sea into a heap; He puts the depths into storehouses. 7He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses.
8Let the whole earth tremble before the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. 8Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him.
9For He spoke, and it came into being; He commanded, and it came into existence. 9For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
10The LORD frustrates the counsel of the nations; He thwarts the plans of the peoples. 10The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation. 11But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12Happy is the nation whose God is Yahweh-- the people He has chosen to be His own possession! 12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.
13The LORD looks down from heaven; He observes everyone. 13From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;
14He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth from His dwelling place. 14from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth--
15He alone shapes their hearts; He considers all their works. 15he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
16A king is not saved by a large army; a warrior will not be delivered by great strength. 16No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17The horse is a false hope for safety; it provides no escape by its great power. 17A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18Now the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him-- those who depend on His faithful love 18But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19to deliver them from death and to keep them alive in famine. 19to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20We wait for Yahweh; He is our help and shield. 20We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
21For our hearts rejoice in Him because we trust in His holy name. 21In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
22May Your faithful love rest on us, Yahweh, for we put our hope in You. 22May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
