Psalm 33

1. Part.
YEe righteous in the LORD rejoice,
For praise becomes the Saints.
Praise God with Psaltrie, Harp & voice
And ten-string'd instruments.
A new song to the Lord indite,
Sing loud and play with skill:
For lo, the word of God is right,
His works all truth fulfill.
Justice and Judgement he doth love,
His goodness fils all coasts;
The word of God made heav'n above,
His Spirit all their hoasts.
He watry seas collected keeps,
And heaps the billows curl'd:
In storehouses he layes the deeps,
O fear him all the world.
In awe of him let all men stand
That dwell from sun to sun:
For it stood fast at his command,
He spake, and it was done.
The counsels which the heathen take,
The Lord doth bring to nought:
And their device doth fruitlesse make,
What ere the people thought.
The counsell of the Lord stands sure,
And so for ever shall:
Th' intentions of his heart endure
To generations all.

2. Part.
THat nation's blest, whose God's the Lord,
That people's blest whom he
Hath chosen of his own accord,
His heritage to be.
The Lord looks down from heaven high,
Beholding all abroad
All mortall mans posterity
From place of his abode.
In all the earth, and all the parts
The dwellers he surveys:
Alike he fashioneth their hearts,
And all their works he weighs.
No num'rous host can save a King,
Their corp'rall strength saves none:
A horse of save's a meer vain thing,
His great strength saves not one;
Behold Gods eye tow'rds them set ope
That him in rev'rence have.
And them that in his mercies hope,
Their souls from death to save.
To keep alive when death's destroy,
Our soul waits for the Lord:
He is our help, our shield, our joy,
In whom our hearts accord.
Because we have put confidence,
In his most holy name:
The mercy Lord to us dispence,
As we hope in the same.
