Psalm 33

Legacy Standard Bible

⁶ By the ^(K)word of Yahweh the heavens were made,
And ^(L)by the breath of His mouth ^(M)all their host.
⁷ He gathers the ^(N)waters of the sea ^[a]as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
⁸ Let ^(O)all the earth fear Yahweh;
Let all the inhabitants of the world ^(P)stand in awe of Him.
⁹ For ^(Q)He spoke, and it was;
He commanded, and it ^[b]stood.
¹⁰ Yahweh ^(R)nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He frustrates the thoughts of the peoples.
¹¹ The ^(S)counsel of Yahweh stands forever,
The ^(T)thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
¹² Blessed is the ^(U)nation whose God is Yahweh,
The people whom He has ^(V)chosen for His own inheritance.

¹³ Yahweh ^(W)looks from heaven;
He ^(X)sees all the sons of men;
¹⁴ From ^(Y)the place of His habitation He gazes
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
¹⁵ He who ^(Z)forms ^[c]the hearts of them all,
He who ^(AA)understands all their works.
^16 (AB)The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
¹⁷ A ^(AC)horse is a false hope for salvation;
Nor does it provide escape to anyone by its great strength.

¹⁸ Behold, ^(AD)the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear Him,
On those who ^(AE)wait for His lovingkindness,
¹⁹ To ^(AF)deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive ^(AG)in famine.
²⁰ Our soul ^(AH)is patient for Yahweh;
He is our ^(AI)help and our shield.
²¹ For our ^(AJ)heart is glad in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
²² Let Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, be upon us,
As we wait for You.
