Psalms 33
33
The Greatness and Goodness of God
1Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous.
Praise befits the upright.
2Praise the Lord with the lyre;
make melody to him with the harp of ten strings.
3Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
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 steadfast love of the Lord.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;
he put 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 came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
10The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom he has chosen as his heritage.
13The Lord looks down from heaven;
he sees all humankind.
14From where he sits enthroned he watches
all the inhabitants of the earth—
15he who fashions the hearts of them all,
and observes all their deeds.
16A king is not saved by his great army;
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
17The war horse is a vain hope for victory,
and by its great might it cannot save.
18Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19to deliver their soul from death,
and to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the Lord;
he is our help and shield.
21Our heart is glad in him,
because we trust in his holy name.
22Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in you.

Tehillim (Psa) 33
33
1Rejoice in Adonai, you righteous!
Praise is well-suited to the upright.
2Give thanks to Adonai with the lyre,
sing praises to him with a ten-stringed harp.
3Sing to him a new song,
make music at your best among shouts of joy.
4For the word of Adonai is true,
and all his work is trustworthy.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the grace of Adonai.
6By the word of Adonai the heavens were made,
and their whole host by a breath from his mouth.
7He collects the sea waters together in a heap;
he puts the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear Adonai!
Let all living in the world stand in awe of him.
9For he spoke, and there it was;
he commanded, and there it stood.
10Adonai brings to nothing the plans of nations,
he foils the plans of the peoples.
11But the counsel of Adonai stands forever,
his heart’s plans are for all generations.
12How blessed is the nation whose God is Adonai,
the people he chose as his heritage!
13Adonai looks out from heaven;
he sees every human being;
14from the place where he lives
he watches everyone living on earth,
15he who fashioned the hearts of them all
and understands all they do.
16A king is not saved by the size of his army,
a strong man not delivered by his great strength.
17To rely on a horse for safety is vain,
nor does its great power assure escape.
18But Adonai’s eyes watch over those who fear him,
over those who wait for his grace
19to rescue them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20We are waiting for Adonai;
he is our help and shield.
21For in him our hearts rejoice,
because we trust in his holy name.
22May your mercy, Adonai, be over us,
because we put our hope in you.
