Psalms 33
1Sing with joy in Hashem, O ye tzaddikim; 1 for tehillah is fitting for the yesharim (upright ones). 1
2Hodu l' Hashem with kinnor (harp); 1 make music unto Him with the ten stringed nevel (lyre). 1
3Sing unto Him a shir chadash (new song); 1 play skillfully with a teru'ah (shout of joy). 1
4For the Devar Hashem is yashar; 1 and kol ma'aseihu (all His deeds) are done in emunah (faithfulness). 1
5He loveth Tzedakah and Mishpat; 1 ha'aretz is full of the chesed Hashem. 1
6By the Devar Hashem were Shomayim made; 1 and all the tz'va (host) of them by the ruach (breath) of His mouth. + 33:6 MJ 11:3; Yn 1:1; Ps 56:5 1
7He gathereth the mey hayam (waters of the sea) like a mound; 1 He layeth up the tehomot (ocean depths) in otzarot (storehouses, vaults). 1
8Let kol ha'aretz fear Hashem; 1 let kol yoshvei tevel (all the inhabitants of the world) stand in awe of Him. 1
9For He spoke, and it was done; 1 He commanded, and it stood firm. 1
10Hashem annuls the atzat Goyim (plan of the Goyim); 1 He foils the machsh'vot Amim (schemes of the peoples). 1
11The atzat Hashem standeth firm l'olam, 1 the machsh'vot of His lev l'dor va'dor (from generation to generation). 1
12Ashrei is the Goy whose Elohav is Hashem; 1 and HaAm whom He hath chosen for His own nachalah. 1
13Hashem looketh down from Shomayim: 1 He beholdeth kol Bnei HaAdam. 1
14From the place of His habitation, 1 He looketh upon kol yoshvei ha'aretz. 1
15He formeth their hearts yachad; 1 He considereth all their ma'asim (deeds). 1
16There is no melech saved by the multitude of an army; 1 a gibbor is not delivered by rav ko'ach. 1
17A sus is a sheker (vain, false thing) for teshu'ah (deliverance, salvation, safety); 1 neither shall it save any by its great strength. 1
18Hinei, the eye of Hashem is upon them that fear Him, 1 upon them that hope in His chesed; 1
19To deliver their nefesh from mavet (death), 1 and to keep them alive in ra'av (famine). 1
20Our nefesh waiteth for Hashem; 1 He is ezreinu (our help) and moginneinu (our shield). 1
21For libeinu (our heart) shall rejoice in Him, 1 because we have trusted b'Shem Kadsho (in His holy Name). 1
22Let Thy chesed, Hashem, be upon us, 1 even as we have hoped in Thee.
