Salmi 33

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Exsultate, iusti, in Domino; rectos decet collaudatio.	1 Rejoice, you just, in the LORD; praise from the upright is fitting.
2 Confitemini Domino in cithara, in psalterio decem chordarum psallite illi.	2 Give thanks to the LORD on the harp; on the ten-stringed lyre offer praise.
3 Cantate ei canticum novum, bene psallite ei in vociferatione,	3 Sing to God a new song; skillfully play with joyful chant.
4 quia rectum est verbum Domini, et omnia opera eius in fide.	4 For the LORD'S word is true; all his works are trustworthy.
5 Diligit iustitiam et iudicium; misericordia Domini plena est terra.	5 The LORD loves justice and right and fills the earth with goodness.
6 Verbo Domini caeli facti sunt, et spiritu oris eius omnis virtus eorum.	6 By the LORD'S word the heavens were made; by the breath of his mouth all their host.
7 Congregans sicut in utre aquas maris, ponens in thesauris abyssos.	7 The waters of the sea were gathered as in a bowl; in cellars the deep was confined.
8 Timeat Dominum omnis terra, a facie autem eius formident omnes inhabitantes orbem.	8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all who dwell in the world show reverence.
9 Quoniam ipse dixit, et facta sunt, ipse mandavit, et creata sunt.	9 For he spoke, and it came to be, commanded, and it stood in place.
10 Dominus dissipat consilia gentium, irritas facit cogitationes populorum.	10 The LORD foils the plan of nations, frustrates the designs of peoples.
11 Consilium autem Domini in aeternum manet, cogitationes cordis eius in generatione et generationem.	11 But the plan of the LORD stands forever, wise designs through all generations.
12 Beata gens, cui Dominus est Deus, populus, quem elegit in hereditatem sibi.	12 Happy the nation whose God is the LORD, the people chosen as his very own.
13 De caelo respexit Dominus, vidit omnes filios hominum.	13 From heaven the LORD looks down and observes the whole human race,
14 De loco habitaculi sui respexit super omnes, qui habitant terram,	14 Surveying from the royal throne all who dwell on earth.
15 qui finxit singillatim corda eorum, qui intellegit omnia opera eorum.	15 The one who fashioned the hearts of them all knows all their works.
16 Non salvatur rex per multam virtutem, et gigas non liberabitur in multitudine virtutis suae.	16 A king is not saved by a mighty army, nor a warrior delivered by great strength.
17 Fallax equus ad salutem, in abundantia autem virtutis suae non salvabit.	17 Useless is the horse for safety; its great strength, no sure escape.
18 Ecce oculi Domini super metuentes eum, in eos, qui sperant super misericordia eius,	18 But the LORD'S eyes are upon the reverent, upon those who hope for his gracious help,
19 ut eruat a morte animas eorum et alat eos in fame.	19 Delivering them from death, keeping them alive in times of famine.
20 Anima nostra sustinet Dominum, quoniam adiutor et protector noster est;	20 Our soul waits for the LORD, who is our help and shield.
21 quia in eo laetabitur cor nostrum, et in nomine sancto eius speravimus.	21 For in God our hearts rejoice; in your holy name we trust.
22 Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos, quemadmodum speravimus in te.	22 May your kindness, LORD, be upon us; we have put our hope in you.
