Psalm 33
Lexham English Bible
Praise to Yahweh for His Character and Creation
33 Exult in Yahweh, O you righteous,
for praise is fitting for the upright.
2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre;
with a harp of ten strings play to him.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully with jubilant shout.
4 For the word of Yahweh is upright,
and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice.
The earth is full of the loyal love of Yahweh.
6 By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made,
and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
7 He gathered the waters of the sea like a heap.
He put the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear Yahweh.
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he himself spoke[a] and it came to pass.
He himself commanded[b] and it stood firm.
10 Yahweh brings to nothing[c] the plan of nations;
he frustrates[d] the intents of peoples.
11 The plan of Yahweh stands firm forever,
the intents of his heart from one generation to the next.[e]
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh,
the people he has chosen for his inheritance.
13 From heaven Yahweh looks;
he sees all the children of humankind.
14 From his dwelling place[f] he gazes
on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 he who fashions altogether their heart,
he who understands all their works.
16 The king is not saved by the greatness of an army.
The warrior is not delivered by the greatness of strength.
17 The horse is a false hope for victory,
nor can it save by the greatness of its power.
18 Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him,
on those who hope[g] for his loyal love
19 to deliver their soul from death
and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for Yahweh;
he is our help and our shield.
21 For in him our heart rejoices
because in his holy name we trust.
22 Let your loyal love, O Yahweh, be upon us,
even as[h] we hope in you.

詩篇 33
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
頌讚之歌
33 義人啊，
你們要歡然歌頌耶和華，
正直的人理應讚美祂。
2 你們要彈琴讚美耶和華，
彈奏十弦琴讚美祂。
3 要為祂唱新歌，
琴聲要美妙，歌聲要嘹亮。
4 因為耶和華的話是真理，
祂的作為信實可靠。
5 祂喜愛公平正義，
大地充滿祂的慈愛。
6 諸天靠祂的話而造，
群星靠祂口中的氣而成。
7 祂將海水聚在一處，把汪洋收進倉庫。
8 願普世都敬畏耶和華！
願世人都尊崇祂！
9 因為祂一發話，就創造了天地；
祂一命令，就立定了萬物。
10 祂挫敗列國的謀算，
攔阻列邦的計劃。
11 祂的計劃永不落空，
祂的旨意萬代長存。
12 尊祂為上帝的邦國有福了！
蒙揀選做祂子民的人有福了！
13 祂從天上俯視人間，
14 從祂的居所察看世上萬民。
15 祂塑造人心，
洞察人的一切行為。
16 君王不能靠兵多取勝，
勇士不能憑力大獲救。
17 靠戰馬取勝實屬妄想，
馬雖力大也不能救人。
18 但耶和華看顧敬畏祂、仰望祂慈愛的人。
19 祂救他們脫離死亡，
保護他們度過饑荒。
20 我們仰望耶和華，
祂是我們的幫助，
是我們的盾牌。
21 我們信靠祂的聖名，
我們的心因祂而充滿喜樂。
22 耶和華啊，我們仰望你，求你向我們施慈愛。
