Psalm 33
1 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.

- The Book of David
The Book of Psalms which contains Psalm 33 is also referred to
as the Book of David. David reigned over Judah and Israel
was the second king of the united Kingdom of Israel. King
David is credited with the authorship of many of the Psalms
and the collection is therefore often referred to as the
Book of David. |
