Psalms 33

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 To David, when he changed his appearance in the sight of Abimelech, and so he dismissed him, and he went away.	1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2 I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will be ever in my mouth.	2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 In the Lord, my soul will be praised. May the meek listen and rejoice.	3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 Magnify the Lord with me, and let us extol his name in itself.	4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5 I sought the Lord, and he heeded me, and he carried me away from all my tribulations.	5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6 Approach him and be enlightened, and your faces will not be confounded.	6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 This poor one cried out, and the Lord heeded him, and he saved him from all his tribulations.	7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8 The Angel of the Lord will encamp around those who fear him, and he will rescue them.	8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 Taste and see that the Lord is sweet. Blessed is the man who hopes in him.	9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 Fear the Lord, all you his saints. For there is no destitution for those who fear him.	10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11 The rich have been needy and hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not be deprived of any good thing.	11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Come forward, sons. Listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the Lord.	12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD: and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Which is the man who wills life, who chooses to see good days?	13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 Prohibit your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.	14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 Turn away from evil, and do good. Inquire about peace, and pursue it.	15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 The eyes of the Lord are on the just, and his ears are with their prayers.	16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 But the countenance of the Lord is upon those who do evil, to perish the remembrance of them from the earth.	17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 The just cried out, and the Lord heard them, and he freed them from all their tribulations.	18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 The Lord is near to those who are troubled in heart, and he will save the humble in spirit.	19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Many are the afflictions of the just, but from them all the Lord will free them.	20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
21 The Lord preserves all of their bones, not one of them shall be broken.	21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 The death of a sinner is very harmful, and those who hate the just will fare badly.	22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
23 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants, and none of those who hope in him will fare badly.
