Psalms 33:4-19

4For the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 1is rightH3477, And allH3605 His workH4639 is done 2in faithfulnessH530.5He 3lovesH157 righteousnessH6666 and justiceH4941; The 4earthH776 is fullH4390 of the goodnessH2617 of the LordH3068.

6By the 5wordH1697 of the LordH3068 the heavensH8064 were madeH6213, And 6by the breathH7307 of His mouthH6310 7allH3605 their 8lightsH6635.7He gathersH3664 the 9watersH4325 of the seaH3220 together 10as a heapH5067; He putsH5414 the depthsH8415 in storehousesH214.8Let 11allH3605 the earthH776 fearH3372 the LordH3068; Let allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398 12standH1481 inH1481 aweH1481 of Him.9For 13He spokeH559, and it was doneH1961; He commandedH6680, and it 14stoodH5975 firmH5975.10The LordH3068 15nullifiesH6565 the planH6098 of nationsH1471; He frustratesH5106 the plansH4284 of peoplesH5971.11The 16planH6098 of the LordH3068 standsH5975 foreverH5769, The 17plansH4284 of His heartH3820 from generationH1755 to generationH1755.12BlessedH835 is the 18nationH1471 whoseH834 GodH430 is the LordH3068, The peopleH5971 He has 19chosenH977 for His own inheritanceH5159.

13The LordH3068 20looksH5027 from heavenH8064; He 21seesH7200 allH3605 the sonsH1121 of mankindH120;14From 22His dwellingH3427 placeH4349 He looksH7688 outH7688 On allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776,15He who 23fashionsH3335 24the heartsH3820 of them allH3162, He who 25understandsH995 allH3605 their worksH4639.1626The kingH4428 is not savedH3467 by a mightyH7230 armyH2428; A warriorH1368 is not rescuedH5337 by greatH7230 strengthH3581.17A 27horseH5483 is a falseH8267 hopeH8267 for victoryH8668; NorH3808 does it rescueH4422 anyone by its greatH7230 strengthH2428.

18BeholdH2009, 28the eyeH5869 of the LordH3068 is on those who fearH3372 Him, On those who 29waitH3176 for His faithfulnessH2617,19To 30rescueH5337 their soulH5315 from deathH4194 And to keepH2421 them aliveH2421 31in famineH7458.
