Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.

Play skilfully with a loud noise.

For the word of Jehovah is right;
And all his work is done in faithfulness.

The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.

By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made,
And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.

Let all the earth fear Jehovah:
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Psa 33:9
For he spake, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.

The thoughts of his heart to all generations.

The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
Psa 33:15
He that fashioneth the hearts of them all,
That considereth all their works.

There is no king saved by the multitude of a host:
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

A horse is a vain thing for safety;
Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.

Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him,
Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;

To deliver their soul from death,
And to keep them alive in famine.

Our soul hath waited for Jehovah:
He is our help and our shield.
Psa 33:21
For our heart shall rejoice in him,
Because we have trusted in his holy name.

Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us,
According as we have hoped in thee.
