Psalm 33
33
Praise to the Creator and Preserver
1Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous:
for praise is comely for the upright.
2Praise the Lord with harp:
sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3Sing unto him a new song;
play skilfully with a loud noise.
4For the word of the Lord is right;
and all his works are done in truth.
5He loveth righteousness and judgment:
the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6By the word of the Lord were the heavens made;
and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap:
he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord:
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9For he spake, and it was done;
he commanded, and it stood fast.
10The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought:
he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever,
the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord;
and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13The Lord looketh from heaven;
he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14From the place of his habitation he looketh
upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15He fashioneth their hearts alike;
he considereth all their works.
16There is no king saved by the multitude of a host:
a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17A horse is a vain thing for safety:
neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him,
upon them that hope in his mercy;
19to deliver their soul from death,
and to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waiteth for the Lord:
he is our help and our shield.
21For our heart shall rejoice in him,
because we have trusted in his holy name.
22Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
according as we hope in thee.

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.
