Psalms 33
Ready to read
1
"It shall be established forever like the moon, And the witness in the heavens is ever faithful." Selah.
2
But [in apparent contradiction of all this] You [the faithful LORD] have cast off and rejected; You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.
3
You have spurned and repudiated the covenant with Your servant; You have profaned his crown [by casting it] in the dust.
4
You have broken down all his [city] walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
5
All who pass along the road rob him; He has become the scorn of his neighbors.
6
You have exalted the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice.
7
Also, You have turned back the edge of his sword And have not made him [strong enough] to stand in battle.
8
You have put an end to his splendor And have hurled his throne to the ground.
9
You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah.
10
How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire?
11
Remember how fleeting my lifetime is; For what vanity, [for what emptiness, for what futility, for what wisp of smoke] You have created all the sons of men!
12
What man can live and not see death? Can he rescue his soul from the [powerful] hand of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead)? Selah.
13
O Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses [so abundant in the days of David and Solomon], Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?
14
Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants [scorned, insulted, and disgraced]; How I bear in[4] my heart the reproach of all the many peoples,
15
With which Your enemies have taunted, O LORD, With which they have mocked the footsteps of Your anointed.
16
Blessed be the LORD forevermore! Amen and Amen.
17
A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place [our refuge, our sanctuary, our stability] in all generations.
18
Before the mountains were born Or before You had given birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are [the eternal] God.
19
You turn man back to dust, And say, "Return [to the earth], O children of [mortal] men!"
20
For a[1] thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, Or as a watch in the night.
21
You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep [forgotten as soon as they are gone]; In the morning they are like grass which grows anew—
22
In the morning it flourishes and springs up; In the evening it wilts and withers away.
