Psalm 33
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Praise to the Creator
33 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones;
praise from the upright is beautiful.(A)
2 Praise the Lord with the lyre;
make music to him with a ten-stringed harp.(B)
3 Sing a new song to him;(C)
play skilfully on the strings, with a joyful shout.(D)
4 For the word of the Lord is right,
and all his work is trustworthy.(E)
5 He loves righteousness and justice;(F)
the earth is full of the Lord’s unfailing love.(G)
6 The heavens were made by the word of the Lord,(H)
and all the stars, by the breath of his mouth.(I)
7 He gathers the water of the sea into a heap;[a]
he puts the depths into storehouses.(J)
8 Let the whole earth fear the Lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.(K)
9 For he spoke, and it came into being;
he commanded, and it came into existence.(L)
10 The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations;
he thwarts the plans of the peoples.(M)
11 The counsel of the Lord stands for ever,
the plans of his heart from generation to generation.(N)
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord –
the people he has chosen to be his own possession!(O)
13 The Lord looks down from heaven;
he observes everyone.(P)
14 He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth
from his dwelling place.(Q)
15 He forms the hearts of them all;
he considers all their works.(R)
16 A king is not saved by a large army;
a warrior will not be rescued by great strength.(S)
17 The horse is a false hope for safety;
it provides no escape by its great power.(T)
18 But look, the Lord keeps his eye on those who fear him –
those who depend on his faithful love(U)
19 to rescue them from death
and to keep them alive in famine.(V)
20 We wait for the Lord;(W)
he is our help and shield.(X)
21 For our hearts rejoice in him(Y)
because we trust in his holy name.(Z)
22 May your faithful love rest on us, Lord,
for we put our hope in you.(AA)

Psalm 33
King James Version
33 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
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: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
Psalm 33
New King James Version
The Sovereignty of the Lord in Creation and History
33 Rejoice (A)in the Lord, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.
2 Praise the Lord with the harp;
[a]Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4 For the word of the Lord is right,
And all His work is done in truth.
5 He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6 (B)By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the (C)host of them (D)by the breath of His mouth.
7 (E)He gathers the waters of the sea together [b]as a heap;
He lays up the deep in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9 For (F)He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
10 (G)The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11 (H)The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has (I)chosen as His own inheritance.
13 (J)The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.

On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He fashions their hearts individually;
(K)He [c]considers all their works.
16 (L)No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 (M)A horse is a [d]vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
18 (N)Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death,
And (O)to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.

Psaltaren 33
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
Herrens allmakt och nåd
33 (A) Jubla i Herren, ni rättfärdiga!
De ärligas lovsång är skön[a].
2 (B) Tacka Herren med harpa,
sjung hans lov
med tiosträngad lyra.
3 (C) Sjung till honom en ny sång,
spela vackert med jubelrop,
4 (D) för Herrens ord är rätt
och han är trofast i allt han gör.
5 (E) Han älskar rättfärdighet och rätt,
jorden är full av Herrens nåd.
6 (F) Himlen är skapad
genom Herrens ord,
hela dess här
genom hans muns ande.
7 (G) Han samlar havets vatten
som i en hög[b],
han lägger djupen
i förvaringsrum.
8 Hela jorden ska frukta Herren,
alla som bor i världen
ska bäva för honom,
9 (H) för han sade och det blev till,
han befallde och det stod där[c].
10 (I) Herren gör hednafolkens planer
om intet,
han gäckar folkens tankar.
11 (J) Men Herrens plan
består för evigt,
hans hjärtas tankar
från släkte till släkte.
12 (K) Saligt är det folk
som har Herren till sin Gud,
det folk han har utvalt
till sin arvedel.
13 Från himlen blickar Herren ner,
han ser alla människors barn,
14 (L) från sin boning betraktar han
alla som bor på jorden.
15 (M) Han formar alla deras hjärtan,
han förstår alla deras verk.
16 (N) En kung segrar inte
genom stor armé,
en hjälte räddar sig inte
genom stor styrka.
17 (O) En häst ger inget hopp om seger,
med all sin kraft räddar den inte.
18 (P) Men Herrens ögon ser till dem
som vördar honom,
till dem som hoppas på hans nåd,
19 (Q) för att rädda deras själ från döden
och hålla dem vid liv
i hungerns tid.
20 (R) Vår själ väntar på Herren,
han är vår hjälp
och vår sköld.
21 I honom gläder sig vårt hjärta,
vi förtröstar på hans heliga namn.
22 Låt din nåd vila över oss, Herre!
Vi sätter vårt hopp till dig.
