Psalms 33:2-22 ▼

2 Confesse it to god with the harpe: sing psalmes vnto hym with the viall, and with the instrument of ten stringes.

3 Sing vnto him a new song: do it cunningly, make a sweete noyse with your musicall instrumentes alowde.

4 For the word of God is right: and euery worke of his done in fayth.

5 He loueth righteousnes & iudgement: the earth is ful of the goodnes of God.

6 By the worde of God are the heauens made: and all the hoastes of them by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as it were vpon an heape: and layeth vp the deepe as treasures.

8 Let all the earth feare God: let all they that dwell in the worlde stande in awe of him.

9 For he spake and it was: he commauded, and it was brought to passe.

10 God bringeth the counsell of the Heathen to naught: and maketh the deuises of the people to be of none effect.

11 The counsayle of God shall endure for euer: and the thoughtes of his heart from generation to generation.

12 Blessed is the nation that hath God to be their Lorde: that people hath he chosen to be an inheritaunce for him.

13 God looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the chyldren of men

14 (33:13) from the place where he resteth: he eyeth diligently euery dweller on the earth.

15 (33:14) He fashioneth their heartes together: he vnderstandeth al their workes.

16 (33:15) A king is not saued by the multitude of an hoast: a man of great myght escapeth not by much strength.

17 (33:16) A horse for to saue is vanitie: and he can deliuer none by his great strength.

18 (33:17) Beholde, the eye of God is vpon them that feare hym: and vpon them that wayteth after his mercy.

19 (33:18) To deliuer their soules from death: and to preserue their liues in dearth.

20 (33:19) Our soule wayteth after God: he is our ayde and shielde.

21 (33:20) For our heart shall reioyce in him: because we haue put our trust in his holy name.

22 (33:21) Let thy louing kindnes O God be vppon vs: like as we haue put our trust in thee.
