Psalm 33
1
Sing joyfully to the LORD, you
righteous;
it is fitting for the
upright to praise him.
2
Praise the LORD with the harp;
make music to him on the
ten-stringed lyre.
3
Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and
shout for joy.
4
For the word of the LORD is
right and true;
he is faithful in all he
does.
5
The LORD loves righteousness and
justice;
the earth is full of his
unfailing love.
6
By the word of the LORD were the
heavens made,
their starry host by the
breath of his mouth.
7
He gathers the waters of the sea
into jars [a]
;
he puts the deep into
storehouses.
8
Let all the earth fear the LORD;
let all the people of the
world revere him.
9
For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it
stood firm.
10
The LORD foils the plans of the
nations;
he thwarts the purposes
of the peoples.
11
But the plans of the LORD stand
firm forever,
the purposes of his heart
through all generations.
12
Blessed is the nation whose God
is the LORD,
the people he chose for
his inheritance.
13
From heaven the LORD looks down
and sees all mankind;
14
from his dwelling place he
watches
all who live on earth-
15
he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything
they do.
16
No king is saved by the size of
his army;
no warrior escapes by his
great strength.
17
A horse is a vain hope for
deliverance;
despite all its great
strength it cannot save.
18
But the eyes of the LORD are on
those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in
his unfailing love,
19
to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in
famine.
20
We wait in hope for the LORD;
he is our help and our
shield.
21
In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy
name.
22
May your unfailing love rest
upon us, O LORD,
even as we put our hope
in you.
