Psalm 33

¹Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
²Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
³Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
⁴For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.
⁵He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
⁶By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
⁷He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
⁸Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
⁹For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
¹⁰The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
¹¹The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
¹³The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
¹⁴From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
¹⁵He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
¹⁶There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
¹⁷An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
¹⁸Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
¹⁹To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
²⁰Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
²¹For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
²²Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

¹³With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
¹⁴Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
¹⁵Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
¹⁶With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
¹⁷He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
¹⁸He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
¹⁹He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
²⁰He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
²¹He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
²²He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.

⁵³And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
⁵⁴And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
⁵⁵Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
⁵⁶And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
⁵⁷And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
⁵⁸And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

14At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
²And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
³For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife.
⁴For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
⁵And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
⁶But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
⁷Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
⁸And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger.
⁹And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
¹⁰And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
¹¹And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
¹²And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
