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.

²⁰The fear of the Lord is all wisdom; and in all wisdom is the performance of the law, and the knowledge of his omnipotency.
²¹If a servant say to his master, I will not do as it pleaseth thee; though afterward he do it, he angereth him that nourisheth him.
²²The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom, neither at any time the counsel of sinners prudence.
²³There is a wickedness, and the same an abomination; and there is a fool wanting in wisdom.
²⁴He that hath small understanding, and feareth God, is better than one that hath much wisdom, and transgresseth the law of the most High.
²⁵There is an exquisite subtilty, and the same is unjust; and there is one that turneth aside to make judgment appear; and there is a wise man that justifieth in judgment.
²⁶There is a wicked man that hangeth down his head sadly; but inwardly he is full of deceit,
²⁷Casting down his countenance, and making as if he heard not: where he is not known, he will do thee a mischief before thou be aware.
²⁸And if for want of power he be hindered from sinning, yet when he findeth opportunity he will do evil.
²⁹A man may be known by his look, and one that hath understanding by his countenance, when thou meetest him.
³⁰A man’s attire, and excessive laughter, and gait, shew what he is.

5And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
²And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
³Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
⁴Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
⁵Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
⁶Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
⁷Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
⁸Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
⁹Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
¹⁰Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
¹¹Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
¹²Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
¹³Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
¹⁴Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
¹⁵Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
¹⁶Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
