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.

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.
