< Psalms 33 >

1 Rejoice in YHWH, you righteous. Praise is fitting for the upright.
Psalmus David. [Exsultate, justi, in Domino; rectos decet collaudatio.
2 Give thanks to YHWH with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
Confitemini Domino in cithara; in psalterio decem chordarum psallite illi.
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Cantate ei canticum novum; bene psallite ei in vociferatione.
4 For the word of YHWH is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
Quia rectum est verbum Domini, et omnia opera ejus in fide.
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of YHWH.
Diligit misericordiam et judicium; misericordia Domini plena est terra.
6 By the word of YHWH the heavens were made; and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
Verbo Domini cæli firmati sunt, et spiritu oris ejus omnis virtus eorum.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
Congregans sicut in utre aquas maris; ponens in thesauris abyssos.
8 Let all the earth fear YHWH. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Timeat Dominum omnis terra; ab eo autem commoveantur omnes inhabitantes orbem.
9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
Quoniam ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit et creata sunt.
10 YHWH nullifies the counsel of the nations. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
Dominus dissipat consilia gentium; reprobat autem cogitationes populorum, et reprobat consilia principum.
11 The counsel of YHWH stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
Consilium autem Domini in æternum manet; cogitationes cordis ejus in generatione et generationem.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is YHWH, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
Beata gens cujus est Dominus Deus ejus; populus quem elegit in hæreditatem sibi.
13 YHWH looks from heaven. He sees all the descendants of Adam.
De cælo respexit Dominus; vidit omnes filios hominum.
14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
De præparato habitaculo suo respexit super omnes qui habitant terram:
15 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
qui finxit sigillatim corda eorum; qui intelligit omnia opera eorum.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
Non salvatur rex per multam virtutem, et gigas non salvabitur in multitudine virtutis suæ.
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
Fallax equus ad salutem; in abundantia autem virtutis suæ non salvabitur.
18 Look, YHWH's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness;
Ecce oculi Domini super metuentes eum, et in eis qui sperant super misericordia ejus:
19 to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
ut eruat a morte animas eorum, et alat eos in fame.
20 Our soul waits for YHWH. He is our help and our shield.
Anima nostra sustinet Dominum, quoniam adjutor et protector noster est.
21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
Quia in eo lætabitur cor nostrum, et in nomine sancto ejus speravimus.
22 Let your loving kindness be on us, YHWH, since we have hoped in you.
Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos, quemadmodum speravimus in te.]
