Psalms 33

rannenu tsaddiqim ba-Adonai laysharim navah tehillah

Sing forth, O you righteous, to GOD; it is fitting that the upright offer praise.

hodu la-Adonai bekhinnor benevel asor zammeru-lo

Praise GOD with the lyre; with the ten-stringed harp sing out;

shiru-lo shir khadash hetivu naggen bitru'ah

sing [God] a new song; play sweetly with shouts of joy.

ki-yashar devar-Adonai vekhol-ma'asehu be'emunah

For the word of GOD is right, and God’s every deed is faithful.

ohev tsedaqah umishpat khesed Adonai male'ah ha'arets

[God] loves what is right and just; the earth is full of GOD’s faithful care.

bidvar Adonai shamayim na'asu uveruakh piv kol-tseva'am

By the word of GOD the heavens were made, by the breath of God’s mouth, all their host.

kones kanned me hayyam noten be'otsarot tehomot

[God] heaps up the ocean waters like a mound, stores the deep in vaults.

yire'u me-Adonai kol-ha'arets mimmennu yaguru kol-yosheve tevel

Let all the earth fear GOD; let all the inhabitants of the world feel dread.

ki hu amar vayyehi hu-tsivvah vayya'amod

For [God] spoke, and it was; issued the command, and it endured.

Adonai hefir atsat-goyim heni makhshevot ammim

GOD frustrates the plans of nations, brings to naught the designs of peoples.

atsat Adonai le'olam ta'amod makhshevot libbo ledor vador

What GOD plans endures forever, what [God] designs, for ages on end.

ashre haggoy asher-Adonai elohayw ha'am bakhar lenakhalah lo

Happy the nation whose God is the ETERNAL, the people who are chosen as a permanent possession.

mishamayim hibbit Adonai ra'ah et-kol-bene ha'adam

GOD looks down from heaven and sees all humankind.

mimmekhon-shivto hishgiakh el kol-yosheve ha'arets

From God’s dwelling-place the divine gaze touches on all the inhabitants of the earth—

hayyotser yakhad libbam hammevin el-kol-ma'asehem

the One who fashions the hearts of them all, who discerns all their doings.

en-hammelekh nosha berov-khayil gibbor lo-yinnatsel berov-koakh

Kings are not delivered by a large force; warriors are not saved by great strength;

sheqer hassus litshu'ah uverov khelo lo yemallet

horses are a false hope for deliverance; for all their great power they provide no escape.

hinneh en Adonai el-yere'ayw lamyakhalim lekhasdo

Truly GOD’s eye is on those who show reverence, who wait for God’s faithful care

lehatsil mimmavet nafsham ulekhayyotam bara'av

to save them from death, to sustain them in famine.

nafshenu khikketah la-Adonai ezrenu umaginnenu hu

We set our hope on GOD, who is our help and shield;

ki-vo yismakh libbenu ki veshem qodsho vatakhenu

in whom our hearts rejoice, in whose holy name we trust.

yehi-khasdekha Adonai alenu ka'asher yikhalnu lakh

May we enjoy, O ETERNAL One, Your faithful care, as we have put our hope in You.
