Psalm 33
|
|
| 33:1
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. |
|
| 33:2
Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an
instrument of ten strings. |
|
| 33:3
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. |
|
| 33:4
For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. |
|
| 33:5
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of
the LORD. |
|
| 33:6
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by
the breath of his mouth. |
|
| 33:7
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the
depth in storehouses. |
|
| 33:8
Let all the earth fear
the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. |
(33:8, 18)
Should we fear God?
|
| 33:9
For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. |
|
| 33:10
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the
devices of the people of none effect. |
|
| 33:11
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to
all generations. |
|
| 33:12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath
chosen for his own inheritance. |
|
| 33:13
The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
|
(33:14-15)
From his seat in heaven, God can see the whole earth and all its inhabitants.
(He sits directly
above the earth, which is a flat disc below him.)
|
| 33:14
From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of
the earth.
|
| 33:15
He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. |
|
| 33:16
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not
delivered by much strength. |
|
| 33:17
An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his
great strength. |
|
| 33:18
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that
hope in his mercy; |
|
| 33:19
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
|
Those who fear God never starve.
|
| 33:20
Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. |
|
| 33:21
For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy
name. |
|
| 33:22
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
