Psalm 33 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Yahweh Is Our Help and Our Shield

Psa 33:1

Sing for joy in Yahweh, O righteous ones;

Praise is becoming to the upright.

Psa 33:2

Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre;

Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.

Psa 33:3

Sing to Him a new song;

Play skillfully with a loud shout.

Psa 33:4

For the word of Yahweh is upright,

And all His work is done in faithfulness.

Psa 33:5

He loves righteousness and justice;

The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Yahweh.

Psa 33:6

By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made,

And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

Psa 33:7

He gathers the waters of the sea [fn]as a heap;

He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

Psa 33:8

Let all the earth fear Yahweh;

Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

Psa 33:9

For He spoke, and it was;

He commanded, and it [fn]stood.

Psa 33:10

Yahweh nullifies the counsel of the nations;

He frustrates the thoughts of the peoples.

Psa 33:11

The counsel of Yahweh stands forever,

The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.

Psa 33:12

Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh,

The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

Psa 33:13

Yahweh looks from heaven;

He sees all the sons of men;

Psa 33:14

From the place of His habitation He gazes

On all the inhabitants of the earth,

Psa 33:15

He who forms [fn]the hearts of them all,

He who understands all their works.

Psa 33:16

The king is not saved by a mighty army;

A warrior is not delivered by great strength.

Psa 33:17

A horse is a false hope for salvation;

Nor does it provide escape to anyone by its great strength.

Psa 33:18

Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear Him,

On those who wait for His lovingkindness,

Psa 33:19

To deliver their soul from death

And to keep them alive in famine.

Psa 33:20

Our soul is patient for Yahweh;

He is our help and our shield.

Psa 33:21

For our heart is glad in Him,

Because we trust in His holy name.

Psa 33:22

Let Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, be upon us,

As we wait for You.
