Psalm 33
Expanded Bible
Praise God Who Creates and Saves
33 ·Sing [Shout for joy] to the Lord, you ·who do what is right [righteous ones];
    ·honest people should praise him [L praise is fitting from the upright/virtuous].
2 ·Praise [Give thanks to] the Lord on the harp;
    make music for him on a ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing a new song [C celebrating victory; 40:3; 96:1; 98:1; 144:9; 149:1; Is. 42:10; Rev. 5:9; 14:3] to him;
    play well ·and joyfully [with a loud/a victory shout].
4 God’s word is ·true [upright; virtuous],
    and everything he does is ·right [faithful].
5 He loves what is right and ·fair [just];
    the Lord’s ·love [loyalty; covenant love] fills the earth.
6 The ·sky was [heavens were] made at the Lord’s ·command [word; Gen. 1:8].
    By the breath from his mouth, he made all ·the stars [L its hosts; Gen. 1:16].
7 He gathered the water of the sea into ·a heap [or jars; bottles].
    He ·made the great ocean stay in its place [L placed the deeps in a storehouse; Job 38:8–11].
8 All the earth should ·worship [fear; hold in awe] the Lord [Prov. 1:7];
    ·the whole [L all the inhabitants of the] world should ·fear him [hold him in awe].
9 He spoke, and it happened.
    He commanded, and it ·appeared [L stood; Heb. 11:3].
10 The Lord ·upsets [frustrates] the ·plans [counsels] of nations;
    he ·ruins [foils] ·all their plans [L the plans of the peoples].
11 But the Lord’s ·plans [counsels] will ·stand [endure] forever;
    ·his ideas [L the plans of his heart] will last from now on.
12 ·Happy [Blessed] is the nation whose God is the Lord,
    the people he chose for his ·very own [L inheritance; Ex. 19:5].
13 The Lord looks down from heaven
    and sees every person.
14 From his throne he watches
    all who live on earth.
15 He ·made [fashions all] their hearts
    and understands everything they do.
16 No king is saved by his ·great [large] army.
    No warrior ·escapes [is rescued/T delivered] by his great strength.
17 Horses ·can’t bring [are a vain hope for] victory;
    they can’t save by their strength.
18 But the ·Lord looks after [L eye of the Lord is on] those who fear him,
    those who ·put their hope [wait on him] in his ·love [loyalty; covenant love].
19 He ·saves [rescues; T delivers] ·them [their soul] from death
    and ·spares their lives in times of hunger [revives them in famine].
20 So our hope is in the Lord.
    He is our help, our shield to protect us.
21 ·We [L Our hearts] rejoice in him,
    because we ·trust [have confidence in] his holy name.
22 Lord, ·show your love to us [L let your loyalty/covenant love be on us]
    as we ·put our hope in [wait for] you.
Psalm 33
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
The Greatness and Goodness of God
33 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous!
    Praise befits the upright.
2 Praise the Lord with the lyre,
    make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!
3 Sing to him a new song,
    play skilfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
4 For the word of the Lord is upright;
    and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice;
    the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
    and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;
    he put the deeps 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 spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded, and it stood forth.
10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nought;
    he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands for ever,
    the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
    the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
13 The Lord looks down from heaven,
    he sees all the sons of men;
14 from where he sits enthroned he looks forth
    on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 he who fashions the hearts of them all,
    and observes all their deeds.
16 A king is not saved by his great army;
    a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
17 The war horse is a vain hope for victory,
    and by its great might it cannot save.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
    on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19 that he may deliver their soul from death,
    and keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the Lord;
    he is our help and shield.
21 Yea, our heart is glad in him,
    because we trust in his holy name.
22 Let thy steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
    even as we hope in thee.
Psalm 33
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 33[a]
Praise of God’s Power and Providence
I
1 Rejoice, you righteous, in the Lord;
    praise from the upright is fitting.(A)
2 Give thanks to the Lord on the harp;
    on the ten-stringed lyre offer praise.(B)
3 Sing to him a new song;
    skillfully play with joyful chant.
4 For the Lord’s word is upright;
    all his works are trustworthy.
5 He loves justice and right.
    The earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.(C)
II
6 By the Lord’s word the heavens were made;
    by the breath of his mouth all their host.[b](D)
7 [c]He gathered the waters of the sea as a mound;
    he sets the deep into storage vaults.(E)
III
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
    let all who dwell in the world show him reverence.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be,
    commanded, and it stood in place.(F)
10 The Lord foils the plan of nations,
    frustrates the designs of peoples.
11 But the plan of the Lord stands forever,
    the designs of his heart through all generations.(G)
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
    the people chosen as his inheritance.(H)
IV
13 From heaven the Lord looks down
    and observes the children of Adam,(I)
14 From his dwelling place he surveys
    all who dwell on earth.
15 The One who fashioned together their hearts
    is the One who knows all their works.
V
16 A king is not saved by a great army,
    nor a warrior delivered by great strength.
17 Useless is the horse for safety;
    despite its great strength, it cannot be saved.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear him,
    upon those who count on his mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death,
    and to keep them alive through famine.
VI
20 Our soul waits for the Lord,
    he is our help and shield.(J)
21 For in him our hearts rejoice;
    in his holy name we trust.
22 May your mercy, Lord, be upon us;
    as we put our hope in you.
Footnotes
- Psalm 33 A hymn in which the just are invited (Ps 33:1–3) to praise God, who by a mere word (Ps 33:4–5) created the three-tiered universe of the heavens, the cosmic waters, and the earth (Ps 33:6–9). Human words, in contrast, effect nothing (Ps 33:10–11). The greatness of human beings consists in God’s choosing them as a special people and their faithful response (Ps 33:12–22).
- 33:6 All their host: the stars of the sky are commonly viewed as a vast army, e.g., Neh 9:6; Is 40:26; 45:12; Jer 33:22.
- 33:7 The waters…as a mound: ancients sometimes attributed the power keeping the seas from overwhelming land to a primordial victory of the storm-god over personified Sea.
Заб 33
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия с «Аллахом»
33 Песнь Давуда, когда он притворялся безумным перед Ави-Маликом, был изгнан от него и удалился.[a]
2 Буду славить Вечного во всякое время;
    хвала Ему всегда на устах моих.
3 Душа моя будет хвалиться Вечным;
    пусть услышат кроткие и возвеселятся.
4 Славьте со мною Вечного;
    превознесём Его имя вместе!
5 Я искал Вечного, и Он мне ответил
    и от всех моих страхов меня избавил.
6 Кто обращал к Нему взор, сияет от радости;
    лица их не покроет стыд.
7 Этот бедняк воззвал, и Вечный услышал его
    и от всех напастей избавил его.
8 Ангел Вечного[b] встаёт на защиту вокруг боящихся Вечного,
    и избавляет их.
9 Вкусите и увидите, как благ Вечный!
    Благословен тот, кто уповает на Него.
10 Святой народ, бойся Вечного,
    ведь тот, кто боится Его, ни в чём не нуждается.
11 Бывает, что даже молодые львы бедствуют и голодают,
    а ищущие Вечного не имеют нужды ни в каком благе.
12 Придите, дети, послушайте меня;
    я научу вас страху перед Вечным.
13 Кто хочет радоваться жизни
    и желает увидеть много добрых дней,
14 пусть удержит свой язык от зла
    и свои уста от коварных речей.
15 Удаляйся от зла и твори добро;
    ищи мира и стремись к нему.
16 Глаза Вечного обращены на праведных,
    и уши Его открыты для их мольбы,
17 но гнев Вечного на тех, кто делает зло,
    чтобы истребить память о них на земле.
18 Взывают праведные, и Вечный их слышит
    и от всех скорбей их избавляет.
19 Близок Вечный к сокрушённым сердцем,
    Он спасает смиренных духом.
20 Много скорбей у праведного,
    но от всех их избавляет его Вечный.
21 Он все его кости хранит,
    ни одна из них не будет переломлена.[c]
22 Зло погубит нечестивого;
    ненавидящие праведного будут осуждены.
23 Вечный спасает жизнь Своих рабов,
    и никто из надеющихся на Него не будет осуждён.
Песнь Давуда.

2 Praise the Lord with the harp;(D)
    make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.(E)

    who considers everything they do.(AH)
16 No king is saved by the size of his army;(AI)
    no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse(AJ) is a vain hope for deliverance;

    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,(AL)
19 to deliver them from death(AM)
    and keep them alive in famine.(AN)
