Moff PSA Chapter 33

33 Rejoice, ye just, in the Eternal,

for songs of praise befit the upright soul.

2 Praise the Eternal on the lyre,

sing to him on a ten-stringed lute.

3 Sing him a new song,

strike the strings bravely at the festival.

4 For just are all the Eternal’s orders,

and all he does is loyally done;

5 he has a love for honesty and justice

the earth is full of his kindness.

6 The heavens were made at the Eternal’s order,

and all their host by his mere word;

7 he holds the seas as in a water-skin,

and stores up the abysses of the deep.

8 Let all the earth fear the Eternal,

let every dweller stand in awe of him,

9 for he it was who spoke—and eath existed,

’twas at his bidding it appeared.

10 The Eternal wrecks the purposes of pagans,

he brings to nothing what the nations plan;

11 but the Eternal’s purpose stands for ever,

and what he plans will last from age to age.

12 Happy the nation whose God is the Eternal.

the people he has chosen for his own!

13 The Eternal looks from heaven,

beholding all mankind;

14 from where he sits he scans

all who inhabit the world;

15 he who alone made their minds,

he notes all that they do.

16 Armies do not bring victory to a king,

the warrior is not rescued by sheer strength;

17 cavalry are in vain for a victory,

there is no winning by the strength of that!

18 No, the Eternal’s eye rests on his worshippers,

who rest their hopes upon his kindness,

19 that he may rescue them from death,

and during famine-days keep them alive.

20 And we rest our hopes on the Eternal,

we wait for him, our help and shield;

21 in him our heart rejoices,

our faith is in his sacred name.

22 Thy kindness rest upon us, O Eternal,

as our hope rests in thee!
