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
PSALM 33.
1For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way#2 Kings 21..
2I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.
3In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.
4O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.
5I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.
6Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.
7This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.
8The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.
9O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.
10Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
11The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
12Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
13Who is the man that desireth life: who loveth to see good days?
14Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
15Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it.
16The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers.
17But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
18The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.
19The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.
20Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.
21The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.
22The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty.
23The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend.
