Psalms 33-35
Skip Heitzig
| Psalms 33 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful. |
| 2 | Praise the LORD with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings. |
| 3 | Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. |
| 4 | For the word of the LORD is right, And all His work is done in truth. |
| 5 | He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. |
| 6 | By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. |
| 7 | He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses. |
| 8 | Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. |
| 9 | For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. |
| 10 | The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. |
| 11 | The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations. |
| 12 | Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. |
| 13 | The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. |
| 14 | From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth; |
| 15 | He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works. |
| 16 | No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. |
| 17 | A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength. |
| 18 | Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, |
| 19 | To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. |
| 20 | Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. |
| 21 | For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name. |
| 22 | Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, Just as we hope in You. |
| Psalms 34 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | A Psalm of David when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. |
| 2 | My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. |
| 3 | Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together. |
| 4 | I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. |
| 5 | They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed. |
| 6 | This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. |
| 7 | The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them. |
| 8 | Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! |
| 9 | Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. |
| 10 | The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing. |
| 11 | Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. |
| 12 | Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good? |
| 13 | Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit. |
| 14 | Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. |
| 15 | The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. |
| 16 | The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. |
| 17 | The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. |
| 18 | The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. |
| 19 | Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all. |
| 20 | He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken. |
| 21 | Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned. |
| 22 | The LORD redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned. |
| Psalms 35 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | A Psalm of David. Plead my cause, O LORD, with those who strive with me; Fight against those who fight against me. |
| 2 | Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help. |
| 3 | Also draw out the spear, And stop those who pursue me. Say to my soul, "I am your salvation." |
| 4 | Let those be put to shame and brought to dishonor Who seek after my life; Let those be turned back and brought to confusion Who plot my hurt. |
| 5 | Let them be like chaff before the wind, And let the angel of the LORD chase them. |
| 6 | Let their way be dark and slippery, And let the angel of the LORD pursue them. |
| 7 | For without cause they have hidden their net for me in a pit, Which they have dug without cause for my life. |
| 8 | Let destruction come upon him unexpectedly, And let his net that he has hidden catch himself; Into that very destruction let him fall. |
| 9 | And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD; It shall rejoice in His salvation. |
| 10 | All my bones shall say, "LORD, who is like You, Delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him, Yes, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?" |
| 11 | Fierce witnesses rise up; They ask me things that I do not know. |
| 12 | They reward me evil for good, To the sorrow of my soul. |
| 13 | But as for me, when they were sick, My clothing was sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting; And my prayer would return to my own heart. |
| 14 | I paced about as though he were my friend or brother; I bowed down heavily, as one who mourns for his mother. |
| 15 | But in my adversity they rejoiced And gathered together; Attackers gathered against me, And I did not know it; They tore at me and did not cease; |
| 16 | With ungodly mockers at feasts They gnashed at me with their teeth. |
| 17 | Lord, how long will You look on? Rescue me from their destructions, My precious life from the lions. |
| 18 | I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people. |
| 19 | Let them not rejoice over me who are wrongfully my enemies; Nor let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause. |
| 20 | For they do not speak peace, But they devise deceitful matters Against the quiet ones in the land. |
| 21 | They also opened their mouth wide against me, And said, "Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it." |
| 22 | This You have seen, O LORD; Do not keep silence. O Lord, do not be far from me. |
| 23 | Stir up Yourself, and awake to my vindication, To my cause, my God and my Lord. |
| 24 | Vindicate me, O LORD my God, according to Your righteousness; And let them not rejoice over me. |
| 25 | Let them not say in their hearts, "Ah, so we would have it!" Let them not say, "We have swallowed him up." |
| 26 | Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion Who rejoice at my hurt; Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor Who exalt themselves against me. |
| 27 | Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, "Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant." |
| 28 | And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness And of Your praise all the day long. |
