Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous:
Praise is comely for the upright.
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp:
Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.
Sing unto him a new song;
Play skilfully with a loud noise.
For the word of Jehovah is right;
And all his work is done in faithfulness.
He loveth righteousness and justice:
The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.
By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made,
And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap:
He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.
Let all the earth fear Jehovah:
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
For he spake, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought;
He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever,
The thoughts of his heart to all generations.
Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah,
The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
Jehovah looketh from heaven;
He beholdeth all the sons of men;
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth
Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
He that fashioneth the hearts of them all,
That considereth all their works.
There is no king saved by {Or, a great power}the multitude of a host:
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
A horse is a vain thing for safety;
Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him,
Upon them that {Or, wait for}hope in his lovingkindness;
To deliver their soul from death,
And to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul hath waited for Jehovah:
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart shall rejoice in him,
Because we have trusted in his holy name.
Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us,
According as we {Or, wait for}have hoped in thee.
Querverweise zu Psalm 33,19 Ps 33,19
For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,And from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover thee with his pinions,And under his wings shalt thou take refuge:His truth is a shield and a buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side,And ten thousand at thy right hand;But it shall not come nigh thee.
Trust in Jehovah, and do good; {Or, So shall thou dwell in the land and feed securely}Dwell in the land, and {Or, verily thou shall be fed}feed on his faithfulness.
There shall no evil befall thee,Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil;And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
He will deliver thee in six troubles;Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
In famine he will redeem thee from death;And in war from the power of the sword.
Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue;Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh;Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
I and the Father are one.
Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish;But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.
He shall dwell on high; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks; his bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
