Psalm 33 | Liturgical Calendar

1

Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous *

for it becometh well the just to be thankful.

2

Praise the Lord with harp *

sing praises unto him with the lute, and instrument of ten strings.

3

Sing unto the Lord a new song *

sing praises lustily unto him with a good courage.

4

For the word of the Lord is true *

and all his works are faithful.

5

He loveth righteousness and judgement *

the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

6

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made *

and all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.

7

He gathereth the waters of the sea together, as it were upon an heap *

and layeth up the deep, as in a treasure-house.

8

Let all the earth fear the Lord *

stand in awe of him, all ye that dwell in the world.

9

For he spake, and it was done *

he commanded, and it stood fast.

10

The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought *

and maketh the devices of the people to be of none effect, and casteth out the counsels of princes.

11

The counsel of the Lord shall endure for ever *

and the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

12

Blessed are the people, whose God is the Lord Jehovah *

and blessed are the folk, that he hath chosen to him to be his inheritance.

13

The Lord looked down from heaven, and beheld all the children of men *

from the habitation of his dwelling he considereth all them that dwell on the earth.

14

He fashioneth all the hearts of them *

and understandeth all their works.

15

There is no king that can be saved by the multitude of an host *

neither is any mighty man delivered by much strength.

16

A horse is counted but a vain thing to save a man *

neither shall he deliver any man by his great strength.

17

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him *

and upon them that put their trust in his mercy;

18

To deliver their soul from death *

and to feed them in the time of dearth.

19

Our soul hath patiently tarried for the Lord *

for he is our help and our shield.

20

For our heart shall rejoice in him *

because we have hoped in his holy Name.

21

Let thy merciful kindness, O Lord, be upon us *

like as we do put our trust in thee.
