Psalm 33
1All you who are righteous,
shout joyfully to the LORD!
It’s right for those who do right to praise God.
2Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre!
Sing praises to him with the ten-stringed harp!
3Sing to him a new song!
Play your best with joyful shouts!
4Because the LORD’s word is right,
his every act is done in good faith.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
the LORD’s faithful love fills the whole earth.
6The skies were made by the LORD’s word,
all their starry multitude by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathered the ocean waters into a heap;
he put the deep seas into storerooms.
8All the earth honors the LORD;
all the earth’s inhabitants stand in awe of him.
9Because when he spoke, it happened!
When he commanded, there it was!
10The LORD overrules what the nations plan;
he frustrates what the peoples intend to do.
11But the LORD’s plan stands forever;
what he intends to do lasts from one generation to the next.
12The nation whose God is the LORD,
the people whom God has chosen as his possession,
is truly happy!
13The LORD looks down from heaven;
he sees every human being.
14From his dwelling place God observes
all who live on earth.
15God is the one who made all their hearts,
the one who knows everything they do.
16Kings aren’t saved by the strength of their armies;
warriors aren’t rescued by how much power they have.
17A warhorse is a bad bet for victory;
it can’t save despite its great strength.
18But look here: the LORD’s eyes watch all who honor him,
all who wait for his faithful love,
19to deliver their lives#33.19 Or souls; also in 33:20 from death
and keep them alive during a famine.
20We put our hope in the LORD.
He is our help and our shield.
21Our heart rejoices in God
because we trust his holy name.
22 LORD, let your faithful love surround us
because we wait for you.

Psalms 33
33
A Song of Praise
1All you that are righteous,
shout for joy for what the LORD has done;
praise him, all you that obey him.
2Give thanks to the LORD with harps,
sing to him with stringed instruments.
3Sing a new song to him,
play the harp with skill, and shout for joy!
4The words of the LORD are true
and all his works are dependable.
5The LORD loves what is righteous and just;
his constant love fills the earth.
6The LORD created the heavens by his command,
the sun, moon, and stars by his spoken word.
7He gathered all the seas into one place;
he shut up the ocean depths in storerooms.
8Worship the LORD, all the earth!
Honour him, all peoples of the world!
9When he spoke, the world was created;
at his command everything appeared.
10The LORD frustrates the purposes of the nations;
he keeps them from carrying out their plans.
11But his plans endure for ever;
his purposes last eternally.
12Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD;
happy are the people he has chosen for his own!
13The LORD looks down from heaven
and sees the whole human race.
14From where he rules, he looks down
on all who live on earth.
15He forms all their thoughts
and knows everything they do.
16A king does not win because of his powerful army;
a soldier does not triumph because of his strength.
17War horses are useless for victory;
their great strength cannot save.
18The LORD watches over those who obey him,
those who trust in his constant love.
19He saves them from death;
he keeps them alive in times of famine.
20We put our hope in the LORD;
he is our protector and our help.
21We are glad because of him;
we trust in his holy name.
22May your constant love be with us, LORD,
as we put our hope in you.
