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.

Psalm 33
33
The Steadfast Love of the Lord
1 # [Ps. 32:11] Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous!
#
Ps. 147:1
Praise befits the upright.
2Give thanks to the Lord with the #Ps. 71:22 lyre;
make melody to him with #Ps. 71:22 the harp of #Ps. 144:9ten strings!
3Sing to him #Ps. 40:3; 96:1; Isa. 42:10a 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 #Ps. 119:75faithfulness.
5He #Ps. 11:7; 36:5, 6; 45:7; 89:14 loves righteousness and justice;
#
Ps. 119:64
the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
6By #Gen. 1:6, 7; Heb. 11:3; 2 Pet. 3:5; [John 1:3] the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
and by #[Job 26:13; Isa. 11:4] the breath of his mouth all #Gen. 2:1their host.
7He gathers the waters of the sea as #Ps. 78:13; Ex. 15:8; Josh. 3:13, 16 a heap;
he #See Job 38:8puts the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
9For #Ps. 148:5, 6; Gen. 1:3; [Ps. 147:15, 18]he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
10The Lord #Isa. 19:3; Luke 1:51; [2 Sam. 15:34; 17:14; Neh. 4:15; Job 5:12; Isa. 8:10]brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11 #
Prov. 19:21; Isa. 46:10 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the plans of his heart to all generations.
12 #
Ps. 144:15; Deut. 33:29 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom he has #Ps. 65:4; Deut. 7:6; [Ex. 19:5]chosen as his heritage!
13The Lord #Job 28:24; See Ps. 11:4looks down from heaven;
he sees all the children of man;
14from #1 Kgs. 8:39, 43, 49 where he sits enthroned he #[Prov. 15:3; Jer. 32:19]looks out
on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15he who fashions the hearts of them all
and observes all their deeds.
16 # [Ps. 44:6] The king is not saved by his great army;
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
17 #
Ps. 20:7; 147:10; Prov. 21:31; Hos. 1:7 The war horse is a false hope for salvation,
and by its great might it cannot rescue.
18Behold, #Ps. 34:15; Job 36:7; 1 Pet. 3:12 the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
#
Ps. 147:11
on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19that he may #[Acts 12:11] deliver their soul from death
and keep them alive in #Ps. 37:19; Job 5:20famine.
20Our soul #Ps. 62:1, 5; 130:6; Isa. 8:17 waits for the Lord;
he is our #Ps. 115:9-11 help and #See Ps. 3:3our shield.
21For our heart is #Zech. 10:7; See Ps. 9:14 glad in him,
because we #See Ps. 11:1trust in his holy name.
22Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in you.
