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.

Psalms 33
33
The Sovereignty of the Lord in Creation and History
1Rejoice #Ps. 32:11; 97:12; Phil. 3:1; 4:4in the Lord, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.
2Praise the Lord with the harp;
Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4For the word of the Lord is right,
And all His work is done in truth.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6#Gen. 1:6, 7; Ps. 148:5; (Heb. 11:3; 2 Pet. 3:5)By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the #Gen. 2:1host of them #(Job 26:13)by the breath of His mouth.
7#Gen. 1:9; Job 26:10; 38:8He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He lays up the deep in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9For #Gen. 1:3; Ps. 148:5He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
10#(Ps. 2:1–3); Is. 8:10; 19:3The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11#(Job 23:13; Prov. 19:21)The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has #(Ex. 19:5; Deut. 7:6); Ps. 28:9chosen as His own inheritance.
13#Job 28:24; (Ps. 14:2)The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
14From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15He fashions their hearts individually;
#(2 Chr. 16:9); Job 34:21; (Jer. 32:19)He considers all their works.
16#Ps. 44:6; 60:11; (Jer. 9:23, 24)No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17#(Ps. 20:7; 147:10; Prov. 21:31)A horse is a vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
18#(Job 36:7); Ps. 32:8; 34:15; (1 Pet. 3:12)Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
19To deliver their soul from death,
And #Job 5:20; Ps. 37:19to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
22Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.
