Psalms 33; Psalms 34

1 (32-1) <A psalm for David.> Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.

2 (32-2) Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.

3 (32-3) Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.

4 (32-4) For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.

5 (32-5) He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

6 (32-6) By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:

7 (32-7) Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.

8 (32-8) Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.

9 (32-9) For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.

10 (32-10) The Lord bringeth to nought the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.

11 (32-11) But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12 (32-12) Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.

13 (32-13) The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men.

14 (32-14) From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.

15 (32-15) He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works.

16 (32-16) The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.

17 (32-17) Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.

18 (32-18) Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy.

19 (32-19) To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.

20 (32-20) Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.

21 (32-21) For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted.

22 (32-22) Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hooped in thee.

1 (33-1) <For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way.> (33-2) I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.

2 (33-3) In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.

3 (33-4) O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.

4 (33-5) I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.

5 (33-6) Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.

6 (33-7) This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 (33-8) The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.

8 (33-9) O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.

9 (33-10) Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

10 (33-11) The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.

11 (33-12) Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 (33-13) Who is the man that desireth life: who liveth to see good days?

13 (33-14) Keep thy tongue form evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

14 (33-15) Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it.

15 (33-16) The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers.

16 (33-17) But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 (33-18) The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.

18 (33-19) The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.

19 (33-20) Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.

20 (33-21) The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.

21 (33-22) The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty.

22 (33-23) The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend.
