Psalms 33
33
1Let the godly sing for joy to the Lord;
it is fitting for the pure to praise him.
2Praise the Lord with melodies on the lyre;
make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.
3Sing a new song of praise to him;
play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy.
4For the word of the Lord holds true,
and we can trust everything he does.
5He loves whatever is just and good;
the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.
6The Lord merely spoke,
and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born.
7He assigned the sea its boundaries
and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.
8Let the whole world fear the Lord,
and let everyone stand in awe of him.
9For when he spoke, the world began!
It appeared at his command.
10The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations
and thwarts all their schemes.
11But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever;
his intentions can never be shaken.
12What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord,
whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.
13The Lord looks down from heaven
and sees the whole human race.
14From his throne he observes
all who live on the earth.
15He made their hearts,
so he understands everything they do.
16The best-equipped army cannot save a king,
nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.
17Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—
for all its strength, it cannot save you.
18But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.
19He rescues them from death
and keeps them alive in times of famine.
20We put our hope in the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
21In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone.

PSALM 33
Praise to the Creator and Preserver.
1Sing for joy in the Lord, O you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming to the upright.
2Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4For the word of the Lord is upright,
And all His work is done in faithfulness.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
10The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart from generation to generation.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.
13The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men;
14From His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
15He who fashions the hearts of them all,
He who understands all their works.
16The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
17A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
18Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope for His lovingkindness,
19To deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21For our heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
22Let Your lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us,
According as we have hoped in You.
