Psalms 33:2-20

²Acknowledge ye to the Lord in an harp; sing ye to him in a psaltery of ten strings.

³Sing ye to him a new song; say ye well psalm to him in crying out.

⁴For the word of the Lord is rightful or right; and all his works be in faithfulness.

⁵He loveth mercy and doom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

⁶Heavens be made steadfast by the word of the Lord; and all the virtue of those or them by the spirit of his mouth.

⁷And he gathered together the waters of the sea as in a bouget or a bottle; and he setteth deep waters in treasures.

⁸All earth dread the Lord; soothly all men inhabiting the world be moved of him.

⁹For he said, and things were made; he commanded, and things were made of nought.

¹⁰The Lord destroyeth the counsels of folks, forsooth he reproveth the thoughts of peoples; and he reproveth the counsels of princes.

¹¹But the counsel of the Lord dwelleth without end; the thoughts of his heart dwell in generation and into generation.

¹²Blessed is the folk, whose Lord is his God; the people which he chose into heritage to himself.

¹³The Lord beheld from heaven; he saw all the sons of men.

¹⁴From his dwelling place made ready before; he beheld on all men, that inhabit the earth.

¹⁵Which made singularly, either each by himself, the souls of them; which understandeth all the works of them.

¹⁶A king is not saved by much virtue, that is, strength; and a giant shall not be saved in the muchliness of his virtue.

¹⁷An horse is false to health; for-sooth he shall not be saved in the abundance, either plenty, of his virtue.

¹⁸Lo! the eyes of the Lord be on men dreading him; and in them that hope in his mercy.

¹⁹That he deliver their souls from death; and feed them in hunger.

²⁰Our soul suffereth the Lord, that is, abideth patiently his will; for he is our helper and defender.
