Psalm 33
1Joyfully sing to the Lord, you righteous people.
Praising ⌞the Lord⌟ is proper for decent people.
2Give thanks with a lyre to the Lord.
Make music for him on a ten-stringed harp.
3Sing a new song to him.
Play beautifully and joyfully on stringed instruments.
4The Lord’s word is correct,
and everything he does is trustworthy.
5The Lord loves righteousness and justice.
His mercy fills the earth.
6The heavens were made by the Lord’s word
and all the stars by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathers the water in the sea like a dam
and puts the oceans in his storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord.
Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him.
9He spoke, and it came into being.
He gave the order, and there it stood.
10The Lord blocks the plans of the nations.
He frustrates the schemes of the people of the world.
11The Lord’s plan stands firm forever.
His thoughts stand firm in every generation.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
Blessed are the people he has chosen as his own.
13The Lord looks down from heaven.
He sees all of Adam’s descendants.
14From the place where he sits enthroned,
he looks down upon all who live on earth.
15The one who formed their hearts
understands everything they do.
16No king achieves a victory with a large army.
No warrior rescues himself by his own great strength.
17Horses are not a guarantee for victory.
Their great strength cannot help someone escape.
18The Lord’s eyes are on those who fear him,
on those who wait with hope for his mercy
19to rescue their souls from death
and keep them alive during a famine.
20We wait for the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
21In him our hearts find joy.
In his holy name we trust.
22Let your mercy rest on us, O Lord,
since we wait with hope for you.

Psalms 33
33
The Sovereignty of the Lord.
1Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,
for praise is fitting for the upright.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 Give thanks to the Lord with the harp;
make music to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 Sing to Him a new song;
play an instrument skillfully with a joyful shout.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 For the word of the Lord is upright,
and all His work is done in truth.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
and all their host by the breath of His mouth.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He puts the depths in storehouses.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations;
He restrains the purposes of the people.
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the purposes of His heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom He has chosen as His inheritance.
13The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
14From the place of His habitation He gazes
on all the inhabitants of the earth;
15He fashions their hearts alike;
He considers all their works.
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;
it will not deliver by its great strength.
18The eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
on those who hope in His lovingkindness,
19to deliver their soul from death,
and to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21For our heart will rejoice in Him,
because we have trusted in His holy name.
22Let Your lovingkindness, O Lord, be onus,
just as we hope in You.
