Psalm 33
1You who are godly, sing with joy to the Lord.
It is right for honest people to praise him.
2With the harp, praise the Lord.
With the lyre that has ten strings, make music to him.
3Sing a new song to him.
Play with skill, and shout with joy.
4What the Lord says is right and true.
He is faithful in everything he does.
5The Lord loves what is right and fair.
The earth is full of his faithful love.
6The heavens were made when the Lord commanded it to happen.
All the stars were created by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathers together the waters of the sea.
He puts the oceans in their places.
8Let the whole earth have respect for the Lord.
Let all the people in the world honor him.
9He spoke, and the world came into being.
He commanded, and it stood firm.
10The Lord blocks the sinful plans of the nations.
He keeps them from doing what they want to do.
11But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever.
What he wants to do will last for all time.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
Blessed are the people he chose to be his own.
13From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees everyone.
14From his throne he watches
all those who live on the earth.
15He creates the hearts of all people.
He is aware of everything they do.
16A king isn’t saved just because his army is big.
A soldier doesn’t escape just because he is very strong.
17People can’t trust a horse to save them either.
Though it is very strong, it can’t save them.
18But the Lord looks with favor on those who respect him.
He watches over those who put their hope in his faithful love.
19He watches over them to save them from death.
He wants to keep them alive when there is no food in the land.
20We wait in hope for the Lord.
He helps us. He is like a shield that keeps us safe.
21Our hearts are full of joy because of him.
We trust in him, because he is holy.
22 Lord, may your faithful love be with us.
We put our hope in you.

Psalms 33

Psalm 33
1Joyfully sing to the Lord, you righteous people.
Praising ⌞the Lord⌟ is proper for decent people.
2Give thanks with a lyre to the Lord.
Make music for him on a ten-stringed harp.
3Sing a new song to him.
Play beautifully and joyfully on stringed instruments.
4The Lord’s word is correct,
and everything he does is trustworthy.
5The Lord loves righteousness and justice.
His mercy fills the earth.
6The heavens were made by the Lord’s word
and all the stars by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathers the water in the sea like a dam
and puts the oceans in his storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord.
Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him.
9He spoke, and it came into being.
He gave the order, and there it stood.
10The Lord blocks the plans of the nations.
He frustrates the schemes of the people of the world.
11The Lord’s plan stands firm forever.
His thoughts stand firm in every generation.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
Blessed are the people he has chosen as his own.
13The Lord looks down from heaven.
He sees all of Adam’s descendants.
14From the place where he sits enthroned,
he looks down upon all who live on earth.
15The one who formed their hearts
understands everything they do.
16No king achieves a victory with a large army.
No warrior rescues himself by his own great strength.
17Horses are not a guarantee for victory.
Their great strength cannot help someone escape.
18The Lord’s eyes are on those who fear him,
on those who wait with hope for his mercy
19to rescue their souls from death
and keep them alive during a famine.
20We wait for the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
21In him our hearts find joy.
In his holy name we trust.
22Let your mercy rest on us, O Lord,
since we wait with hope for you.
