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.
14 From the place of His dwelling He looks
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.

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.
Psalmien 33
Raamattu 1933/38
33 Riemuitkaa Herrassa, te vanhurskaat. Oikeamielisten on soveliasta häntä kiittää.
2 Ylistäkää Herraa kanteleilla, soittakaa hänelle kymmenkielisillä harpuilla.
3 Veisatkaa hänelle uusi virsi, helkyttäkää kieliä ihanasti ja riemullisesti.
4 Sillä Herran sana on oikea, ja kaikki hänen tekonsa ovat tehdyt uskollisuudessa.
5 Hän rakastaa vanhurskautta ja oikeutta; maa on täynnänsä Herran armoa.
6 Herran sanalla ovat taivaat tehdyt, ja kaikki niiden joukot hänen suunsa hengellä.
7 Hän kokoaa meren vedet niinkuin roukkioksi, panee syvyydet säiliöihin.
8 Peljätköön Herraa kaikki maa, hänen edessänsä vaviskoot kaikki maanpiirin asukkaat.
9 Sillä hän sanoi, ja tapahtui niin, hän käski, ja se oli tehty.
10 Herra särkee pakanain neuvon, tekee turhiksi kansojen aikeet.
11 Mutta Herran neuvo pysyy iankaikkisesti, hänen sydämensä aivoitukset suvusta sukuun.
12 Autuas se kansa, jonka Jumala Herra on, se kansa, jonka hän on perinnöksensä valinnut!
13 Herra katsoo alas taivaasta, näkee kaikki ihmislapset;
14 asumuksestaan, valtaistuimeltaan hän katselee kaikkia maan asukkaita,
15 hän, joka on luonut kaikkien heidän sydämensä, joka tarkkaa kaikkia heidän tekojansa.
16 Ei kuningas voita paljolla väellänsä, ei sankari pelastu suurella voimallansa.
17 Turha on sotaratsu auttajaksi, ei pelasta sen suuri väkevyys.
18 Katso, Herran silmä valvoo niitä, jotka häntä pelkäävät ja panevat toivonsa hänen laupeuteensa,
19 pelastaaksensa heidän sielunsa kuolemasta, elättääksensä heitä nälän aikana.
20 Meidän sielumme odottaa Herraa, hän on meidän apumme ja kilpemme.
21 Sillä hänessä iloitsee meidän sydämemme, me turvaamme hänen pyhään nimeensä.
22 Sinun armosi, Herra, olkoon meidän päällämme, niinkuin me panemme toivomme sinuun.
