33.21
- With songs of deliverance Thou wilt compass me about. Selah
- 8'I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go;
- I will give counsel, Mine eye being upon thee.'
- 9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding;
- Whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,
- That they come not near unto thee.
- 10Many are the sorrows of the wicked;
- But he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy compasseth him about.
- 11Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous;
- And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
- 33 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous,
- Praise is comely for the upright.
- 2Give thanks unto the Lord with harp,
- Sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.
- 3Sing unto Him a new song;
- Play skilfully amid shouts of joy.
- 4For the word of the Lord is upright;
- And all His work is done in faithfulness.
- 5He loveth righteousness and justice;
- The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.
- 6By the word of the Lord were the heavens made;
- And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
- 7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap;
- He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.
- 8Let all the earth fear the Lord;
- Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
- 9For He spoke, and it was;
- He commanded, and it stood.
- 10The Lord bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought;
- He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
- 11The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever,
- The thoughts of His heart to all generations.
- 12Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord;
- The people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.
- 13The Lord looketh from heaven;
- He beholdeth all the sons of men;
- 14From the place of His habitation He looketh intently
- Upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
- 15He that fashioneth the hearts of them all,
- That considereth all their doings.
- 16A king is not saved by the multitude of a host;
- A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
- 17A horse is a vain thing for safety;
- Neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.
- 18Behold, the eye of the Lord is toward them that fear Him,
- Toward them that wait for His mercy;
- 19To deliver their soul from death,
- And to keep them alive in famine.
- 20Our soul hath waited for the Lord;
- He is our help and our shield.
- 21For in Him doth our heart rejoice,
- Because we have trusted in His holy name.
