Psalms 33
33
1Let those who do good shout for joy—those who live right should praise him!
2Praise the Lord with the lyre, play music to him on the ten-stringed harp.
3Sing a new song to him; play your instruments well and shout for joy.
4For the word of the Lord is true,#33:4 Literally, “upright.” and he is trustworthy in everything he does.
5He loves all that is good and right; the earth is full of the Lord's trustworthy love.
6The Lord spoke the word and the heavens were made; his mouth breathed all the stars into existence.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together, he keeps the ocean depths in store.
8Let all the earth show reverence to the Lord; let all the world's inhabitants be in awe of him.
9For he spoke and the world came into existence; he gave the command and it was created.
10The Lord foils the decisions of the nations, he frustrates the plans of the peoples,
11But the Lord's plan stands forever—what he decides lasts for all generations.
12Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he has chosen as specially belonging#33:12. Literally, “inheritance.” to him.
13The Lord looks from heaven and sees the whole of humanity,
14from his throne he watches all those who live on earth.
15He created their minds,#33:15. Literally, “hearts.” so he knows everything they do.
16Even the greatest army cannot save a king; the greatest strength cannot save a warrior.
17Don't deceive yourself: a warhorse can't give you victory—even its incredible strength won't save you.
18The Lord watches over those who reverently follow him, those who place their hope in his trustworthy love
19to save them from death and to keep them alive when famine strikes.
20We place our confidence in the Lord; he is our help and our defender.#33:20. Literally, “shield.”
21We are so happy about him, for we trust in his holy character.
22Lord, let your trustworthy love rest upon us as we hope in you.

Psalms 33
33
Sing Praises to the Lord
1You are the Lord's people.
Obey him and celebrate!
He deserves your praise.
2Praise the Lord with harps!
Use harps with ten strings
to make music for him.
3Sing a new song. Shout!
Play beautiful music.
4The Lord is truthful;
he can be trusted.
5He loves justice and fairness,
and he is kind to everyone
everywhere on earth.
6The Lord made the heavens
and everything in them
by his word.
7He scooped up the ocean
and stored the water.
8Everyone in this world
should worship and honor
the Lord!
9As soon as he spoke
the world was created;
at his command,
the earth was formed.
10The Lord destroys the plans
and spoils the schemes
of the nations.
11But what the Lord has planned
will stand forever.
His thoughts never change.
12The Lord blesses each nation
that worships only him.
He blesses his chosen ones.
13The Lord looks at the world
14from his throne in heaven,
and he watches us all.
15The Lord gave us each a mind,
and nothing we do
can be hidden from him.
16 #
Jdt 9.7; 1 Macc 3.19. Mighty armies alone
cannot win wars for a king;
great strength by itself
cannot keep a soldier safe.
17In war the strength of a horse
cannot be trusted
to take you to safety.
18But the Lord watches over
all
who honor him
and trust his kindness.
19He protects them from death
and starvation.
20We depend on you, Lord,
to help and protect us.
21You make our hearts glad
because we trust you,
the only God.
22Be kind and bless us!
We depend on you.
