33
The Sovereignty of the Lord.
1Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous!
Praise is becoming to the upright. # Ps 32:11; 147:1
2Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to Him with an instrument of ten strings. # Ps 92:3; 144:9
3Sing to Him a new song; # Ps 96:1; Isa 42:10
play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4For the word of the Lord is upright, # Ps 19:8; 119:75
and all His work is done in truth.
5He loves righteousness and justice; # Ps 11:7
the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord. # Ps 119:64
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, # Heb 11:3
and all their host by the breath of His mouth.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; # Ex 15:8; Jos 3:16
He puts the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9For He spoke, and it was done; # Ge 1:3
He commanded, and it stood fast. # Ps 148:5–6
10The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; # Isa 19:3
He makes the plans of the people of no effect. # 2Sa 15:34
11The counsel of the Lord stands forever, # Pr 19:21
the plans of His heart to all generations. # Job 23:13
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, # Dt 33:29; Ps 144:15
the people whom He has chosen as His inheritance.
13The Lord looks down from heaven; # Job 28:24
He sees all the sons of men. # Ps 11:4
14From the place of His habitation He gazes # 1Ki 8:39
on all the inhabitants of the earth;
15He fashions the hearts of them all;
He considers all their works. # Jer 32:19
16No king is saved by a great army;
a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17A horse is a vain hope for safety; # Ps 20:7; Pr 21:31
it will not deliver by its great strength.
18Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, # Job 36:7; Ps 147:11
on those who hope in His lovingkindness,
19to deliver their soul from death,
and to keep them alive in famine. # Ps 37:19
20Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21For our heart will rejoice in Him, # Zec 10:7; Jn 16:22
because we have trusted in His holy name.
22Let Your lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us,
just as we hope in You.
