{Psa 1-2, 10, 33, 71, 91 ^**}

    ^33:1 Rejoice in Jehovah, O you^* righteous ones. Praise is becoming for the upright. ^33:2 Give thanks to Jehovah with the harp. Sing praises to him with the psaltery of ten strings. ^33:3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

    ^33:4 Because the word of Jehovah is right and all his work is done in faithfulness. ^33:5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Jehovah.

    ^33:6 The heavens made were by the word of Jehovah and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. ^33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the depths in storehouses.

    ^33:8 Let all the earth fear Jehovah. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. ^33:9 Because he spoke and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast.

    ^33:10 Jehovah brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He disallows the thoughts of the peoples. ^33:11 The counsel of Jehovah stands fast everlasting, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

    ^33:12 The nation whose God is Jehovah is fortunate, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

    ^33:13 Jehovah looks from heaven. He beholds all the sons of men. ^33:14 From the place of his dwelling he looks forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;^33:15 he who fashions the hearts of them all, who considers all their works.

    ^33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. ^33:17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, nor does he deliver any by his great power.

    ^33:18 Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon those who fear him, upon those who hope in his loving kindness, ^33:19 to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine.

    ^33:20 Our soul has waited for Jehovah. He is our help and our shield. ^33:21 Because our heart will rejoice in him because we have trusted in his holy name.

    ^33:22 Let your loving kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, just-as we have hoped in you.
