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
Praise to the Creator
1Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones;
praise from the upright is beautiful. # Ps 32:11; 147:1; Php 4:4
2Praise the Lord with the lyre;
make music to Him with a ten-stringed harp. # Ps 92:3; 144:9
3Sing a new song to Him; # Ps 40:3; 96:1; Is 42:10
play skillfully on the strings, with a joyful shout. # Ps 150:4
4For the word of the Lord is right,
and all His work is trustworthy. # Ps 19:8
5He loves righteousness and justice; # Ps 11:7; 37:28
the earth is full of the Lord’s unfailing love. # Ps 119:64
6The heavens were made by the word of the Lord, # Heb 11:3; 2Pt 3:5
and all the stars, by the breath of His mouth. # Jb 26:13; Ps 104:30
7He gathers the waters of the sea into a heap; # LXX, Tg, Syr, Vg, Jer read sea as in a bottle
He puts the depths into storehouses. # Ex 15:8; Jos 3:13; Ps 78:13
8Let the whole earth tremble before the Lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. # Ps 67:7; 96:9
9For He spoke, and it came into being;
He commanded, and it came into existence. # Gn 1:3; Ps 147:15,18; 148:5
10The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations;
He thwarts the plans of the peoples. # Ps 2:1-3; Is 8:10; 19:3
11The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the plans of His heart from generation to generation. # Ps 139:17; Pr 19:21; Is 55:8
12Happy is the nation whose God is Yahweh —
the people He has chosen to be His own possession! # Ex 19:5; Dt 7:6; Ps 144:15
13The Lord looks down from heaven;
He observes everyone. # Jb 28:24; Ps 11:4; 14:2; 53:2
14He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth
from His dwelling place. # Ps 102:19
15He alone shapes their hearts;
He considers all their works. # Jb 34:21
16A king is not saved by a large army;
a warrior will not be delivered by great strength. # Ps 44:6; 60:11
17The horse is a false hope for safety;
it provides no escape by its great power. # Ps 20:7; 147:10; Hs 1:7
18Now the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him —
those who depend on His faithful love # Jb 36:7; Ps 34:15; 1Pt 3:12
19to deliver them from death
and to keep them alive in famine. # Jb 5:20; Ps 37:19; 56:13
20We wait for Yahweh; # Ps 130:6; Is 8:17
He is our help and shield. # Gn 15:1; Dt 33:29; Ps 3:3; 5:12; 18:2; 28:7; 115:9-11
21For our hearts rejoice in Him # Ps 13:5; 28:7; Jn 16:22
because we trust in His holy name. # Zph 3:12
22May Your faithful love rest on us, Yahweh,
for we put our hope in You. # Ps 130:7; 147:11
