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
1¶ Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous, for to the upright praise is beautiful.
2Celebrate unto the Lord with harp; sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3Sing unto him a new song; play unto excellence with joy.
4For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done in truth.
5He loves righteousness and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; he lays up the deeps for treasures.
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 came into being.
10The Lord brings the counsel of the Gentiles to nought; he makes the devices of the peoples of no effect.
11The counsel of the Lord stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12¶ Blessed is the people whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13The Lord looked from heaven; he saw all the sons of Adam.
14From the place of his habitation he looked upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15He fashioned all of their hearts; he considers all their works.
16The king is not saved by the multitude of the army; the mighty man does not escape by much strength.
17A horse is a vain thing for salvation; neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those that fear him, upon those that wait for his mercy
19to deliver their souls from death and to keep them alive in the famine.
20Our soul waited for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.
21Therefore our heart shall rejoice in him because we have trusted in the name of his holiness.
22Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have waited upon thee.
