Psalm 33
Evangelical Heritage Version
Psalm 33
Blessed Is the Nation Whose God Is the Lord
Introductory Praise
1 Shout joyfully to the Lord, you righteous.
The praise of the upright is beautiful.
2 Thank the Lord with a lyre.
Make music for him with the ten-stringed harp.
3 Sing to him a new song.
Play skillfully and shout praises.
4 Yes, the word of the Lord is right,
and everything he does is trustworthy.
5 He loves righteousness and justice.
The mercy of the Lord fills the earth.
God’s Love in Creation
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made.
By the breath of his mouth he made the whole army of stars.[a]
7 He gathers the water of the sea into a heap.
He puts the depths into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord.
Let all the inhabitants of the world revere him.
9 For he said, “Let it be,” and it was!
He gave a command, and there it stood.
God’s Rule of History
10 The Lord wrecks the plan of the nations.
He hinders the intentions of the peoples.
11 The plan of the Lord stands forever.
The intentions of his heart stand through all generations.
12 How blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose to be his possession.
13 From heaven the Lord observes.
He sees all the children of Adam.
14 From his throne room he looks at all the inhabitants of earth.
15 He alone is the one who shapes all their hearts.
He understands all their deeds.
16 No king is saved by the great size of his army.
No hero is rescued by his great strength.
17 You cannot rely on a horse to save you.
Its great strength will not deliver you.
18 Look, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
on those who wait for his mercy.
19 He will deliver their souls from death.
He keeps them alive in famine.
Concluding Prayer
20 Our souls wait for the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
21 Yes, in him our heart rejoices,
because we trust in his holy name.
22 May your mercy, O Lord, be on us,
even as we wait confidently for you.

Salmos 33
O Livro
33 Alegrem-se, vocês, os justos no Senhor,
pois aos retos convém que o louvem!
2 Toquem melodias de louvor com harpa e com lira.
3 Cantem-lhe cantos novos;
executem-nos bem e com alegria.
4 Porque a palavra do Senhor é a verdade;
tudo o que ele faz é digno de confiança.
5 O Senhor ama a justiça e a retidão;
a Terra está cheia de provas do seu amor.
6 Foi pela palavra do Senhor que os céus foram feitos;
todos os astros foram criados pelo sopro que saiu da sua boca.
7 Ele reuniu num só lugar as águas dos oceanos,
mantendo as profundezas em reservatórios.
8 Que o mundo inteiro e os seus moradores
temam o Senhor e lhe tenham reverência!
9 Porque ele falou e tudo se criou;
mandou e logo tudo apareceu.
10 O Senhor desfaz os planos das nações;
anula as intenções dos povos.
11 Mas o seu plano permanece para sempre;
os seus pensamentos em todas as gerações.
12 Feliz é a nação cujo Deus é o Senhor,
cujo povo ele escolheu para si mesmo.
13 O Senhor olha desde os céus
e vê toda a humanidade.
14 Da sua morada observa toda a gente.
15 Foi ele quem fez o coração das pessoas
e examina de perto tudo o que fazem.
16 Não há exército, por mais bem armado que esteja,
que possa garantir a salvação de um chefe de estado.
A muita força não livra ninguém.
17 Um cavalo de guerra não pode dar a vitória a um indivíduo,
por muito forte que seja.
18 Mas os olhos do Senhor estão sobre os que o temem,
sobre os que esperam no seu amor.
19 Ele os livrará da morte
e os conservará em tempos de escassez.
20 A nossa alma espera pela ajuda do Senhor;
ele é o nosso auxílio e protege-nos como um escudo.
21 Não é de admirar que estejamos alegres,
pois confiamos no Senhor
e na força do seu santo nome.
22 Sim, Senhor, que o teu amor nos rodeie,
pois esperamos somente em ti!
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.
