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
1Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous:
Praise is comely for the upright.
2Give thanks unto the LORD with harp:
Sing praises unto him with the psaltery 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 work is done in faithfulness.
5He loveth righteousness and judgement:
The earth is full of the lovingkindness 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 an heap:
He layeth up 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 spake, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought:
He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of none effect.
11The counsel of the LORD standeth fast for ever,
The thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD;
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 forth
Upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15He that fashioneth the hearts of them all,
That considereth all their works.
16There is no king saved by the multitude of an host:
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17An horse is a vain thing for safety:
Neither shall he deliver any by his great power.
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 hath waited 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 have hoped in thee.
