Chapter 33
1רַנְּנוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּֽיהֹוָה לַיְשָׁרִים נָאוָה תְהִלָּֽהSing forth, O you righteous, to GOD; it is fitting that the upright offer praise.
2הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה בְּכִנּוֹר בְּנֵבֶל עָשׂוֹר זַמְּרוּ־לֽוֹPraise GOD with the lyre; with the ten-stringed harp sing out;
3שִֽׁירוּ־לוֹ שִׁיר חָדָשׁ הֵיטִיבוּ נַגֵּן בִּתְרוּעָֽהsing [God] a new song; play sweetly with shouts of joy.
4כִּֽי־יָשָׁר דְּבַר־יְהֹוָה וְכׇל־מַעֲשֵׂהוּ בֶּאֱמוּנָֽהFor the word of GOD is right, and God’s every deed is faithful.
5אֹהֵב צְדָקָה וּמִשְׁפָּט חֶסֶד יְהֹוָה מָלְאָה הָאָֽרֶץ[God] loves what is right and just; the earth is full of GOD’s faithful care.
6בִּדְבַר יְהֹוָה שָׁמַיִם נַעֲשׂוּ וּבְרוּחַ פִּיו כׇּל־צְבָאָֽםBy the word of GOD the heavens were made, by the breath of God’s mouth, all their host.
7כֹּנֵס כַּנֵּד מֵי הַיָּם נֹתֵן בְּאוֹצָרוֹת תְּהוֹמֽוֹת[God] heaps up the ocean waters like a mound, stores the deep in vaults.
8יִֽירְאוּ מֵיְהֹוָה כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ מִמֶּנּוּ יָגוּרוּ כׇּל־יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵֽלLet all the earth fear GOD; let all the inhabitants of the world feel dread.
9כִּי הוּא אָמַר וַיֶּהִי הֽוּא־צִוָּה וַֽיַּעֲמֹֽדFor [God] spoke, and it was; issued the command, and it endured.
10יְֽהֹוָה הֵפִיר עֲצַת־גּוֹיִם הֵנִיא מַחְשְׁבוֹת עַמִּֽיםGOD frustrates the plans of nations, brings to naught the designs of peoples.
11עֲצַת יְהֹוָה לְעוֹלָם תַּעֲמֹד מַחְשְׁבוֹת לִבּוֹ לְדֹר וָדֹֽרWhat GOD plans endures forever, what [God] designs, for ages on end.
12אַשְׁרֵי הַגּוֹי אֲשֶׁר־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָיו הָעָם בָּחַר לְנַחֲלָה לֽוֹHappy the nation whose God is the ETERNAL, the people who are chosen as a permanent possession.
13מִשָּׁמַיִם הִבִּיט יְהֹוָה רָאָה אֶֽת־כׇּל־בְּנֵי הָאָדָֽםGOD looks down from heaven and sees all humankind.
14מִֽמְּכוֹן־שִׁבְתּוֹ הִשְׁגִּיחַ אֶל כׇּל־יֹשְׁבֵי הָאָֽרֶץFrom God’s dwelling-place the divine gaze touches on all the inhabitants of the earth—
15הַיֹּצֵר יַחַד לִבָּם הַמֵּבִין אֶל־כׇּל־מַעֲשֵׂיהֶֽםthe One who fashions the hearts of them all, who discerns all their doings.
16אֵֽין־הַמֶּלֶךְ נוֹשָׁע בְּרׇב־חָיִל גִּבּוֹר לֹא־יִנָּצֵל בְּרׇב־כֹּֽחַKings are not delivered by a large force; warriors are not saved by great strength;
17שֶׁקֶר הַסּוּס לִתְשׁוּעָה וּבְרֹב חֵילוֹ לֹא יְמַלֵּֽטhorses are a false hope for deliverance; for all their great power they provide no escape.
18הִנֵּה עֵין יְהֹוָה אֶל־יְרֵאָיו לַֽמְיַחֲלִים לְחַסְדּֽוֹTruly GOD’s eye is on those who show reverence, who wait for God’s faithful care
19לְהַצִּיל מִמָּוֶת נַפְשָׁם וּלְחַיּוֹתָם בָּרָעָֽבto save them from death, to sustain them in famine.
20נַפְשֵׁנוּ חִכְּתָה לַֽיהֹוָה עֶזְרֵנוּ וּמָגִנֵּנוּ הֽוּאWe set our hope on GOD, who is our help and shield;
21כִּי־בוֹ יִשְׂמַח לִבֵּנוּ כִּי בְשֵׁם קׇדְשׁוֹ בָטָֽחְנוּin whom our hearts rejoice, in whose holy name we trust.
22יְהִי־חַסְדְּךָ יְהֹוָה עָלֵינוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר יִחַלְנוּ לָֽךְMay we enjoy, O ETERNAL One, Your faithful care, as we have put our hope in You.
