Psalm 33

Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous  *

for it becometh well the just to be thankful.

Praise the Lord with harp *

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

Sing unto the Lord a new song *

sing praises lustily unto him with a good courage.

For the word of the Lord is true *

and all his works are faithful.

He loveth righteousness and judgement *

the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made *

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

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

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

Let all the earth fear the Lord *

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

For he spake, and it was done *

he commanded, and it stood fast.

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.

The counsel of the Lord shall endure for ever *

and the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

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.
