Tehillim 33

¹Sing with joy in Hashem , O ye tzaddikim;

for tehillah is fitting for the yesharim (upright ones) .

²Hodu l'Hashem with kinnor (harp) ;

make music unto Him with the ten stringed nevel (lyre) .

³Sing unto Him a shir chadash (new song) ;

play skillfully with a teru'ah (shout of joy) .

⁴For the Devar Hashem is yashar;

and kol ma'aseihu (all His deeds) are done in emunah (faithfulness) .

⁵He loveth Tzedakah and Mishpat;

ha'aretz is full of the chesed Hashem .

⁶By the Devar Hashem were Shomayim made;

and all the tz'va (host) of them by the ruach (breath) of His mouth.

⁷He gathereth the mey hayam (waters of the sea) like a mound;

He layeth up the tehomot (ocean depths) in otzarot (storehouses, vaults) .

⁸Let kol ha'aretz fear Hashem ;

let kol yoshvei tevel (all the inhabitants of the world) stand in awe of Him.

⁹For He spoke, and it was done;

He commanded, and it stood firm.

¹⁰Hashem annuls the atzat Goyim (plan of the Goyim) ;

He foils the machsh'vot Amim (schemes of the peoples) .

¹¹The atzat Hashem standeth firm l'olam,

the machsh'vot of His lev l'dor va'dor (from generation to generation) .

¹²Ashrei is the Goy whose Elohav is Hashem ;

and HaAm whom He hath chosen for His own nachalah.

¹³Hashem looketh down from Shomayim:

He beholdeth kol Bnei HaAdam.

¹⁴From the place of His habitation,

He looketh upon kol yoshvei ha'aretz.

¹⁵He formeth their hearts yachad;

He considereth all their ma'asim (deeds) .

¹⁶There is no melech saved by the multitude of an army;

a gibbor is not delivered by rav ko'ach.

¹⁷A sus is a sheker (vain, false thing) for teshu'ah (deliverance, salvation, safety) ;

neither shall it save any by its great strength.

¹⁸Hinei, the eye of Hashem is upon them that fear Him,

upon them that hope in His chesed;

¹⁹To deliver their nefesh from mavet (death) ,

and to keep them alive in ra'av (famine) .

²⁰Our nefesh waiteth for Hashem ;

He is ezreinu (our help) and moginneinu (our shield) .

²¹For libeinu (our heart) shall rejoice in Him,

because we have trusted b'Shem Kadsho (in His holy Name) .

²²Let Thy chesed, Hashem , be upon us,

even as we have hoped in Thee.
