Psalms 33

¹To David, when he changed his appearance in the sight of Abimelech, and so he dismissed him, and he went away

²I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will be ever in my mouth

³In the Lord, my soul will be praised. May the meek listen and rejoice

⁴Magnify the Lord with me, and let us extol his name in itself

⁵I sought the Lord, and he heeded me, and he carried me away from all my tribulations

⁶Approach him and be enlightened, and your faces will not be confounded

⁷This poor one cried out, and the Lord heeded him, and he saved him from all his tribulations

⁸The Angel of the Lord will encamp around those who fear him, and he will rescue them

⁹Taste and see that the Lord is sweet. Blessed is the man who hopes in him

¹⁰Fear the Lord, all you his saints. For there is no destitution for those who fear him

¹¹The rich have been needy and hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not be deprived of any good thing

¹²Come forward, sons. Listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the Lord

¹³Which is the man who wills life, who chooses to see good days

¹⁴Prohibit your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit

¹⁵Turn away from evil, and do good. Inquire about peace, and pursue it

¹⁶The eyes of the Lord are on the just, and his ears are with their prayers

¹⁷But the countenance of the Lord is upon those who do evil, to perish the remembrance of them from the earth

¹⁸The just cried out, and the Lord heard them, and he freed them from all their tribulations

¹⁹The Lord is near to those who are troubled in heart, and he will save the humble in spirit

²⁰Many are the afflictions of the just, but from them all the Lord will free them

²¹The Lord preserves all of their bones, not one of them shall be broken

²²The death of a sinner is very harmful, and those who hate the just will fare badly

²³The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants, and none of those who hope in him will fare badly
