Psalms 33 / 150
- 1Sing joyfully to the LORD , you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
- 2Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
- 3Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.
- 4For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
- 5The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.
- 6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
- 7He gathers the waters of the sea into jars ; he puts the deep into storehouses.
- 8Let all the earth fear the LORD ; let all the people of the world revere him.
- 9For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
- 10The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
- 11But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
- 12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD , the people he chose for his inheritance.
- 13From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;
- 14from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth-
- 15he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
- 16No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
- 17A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
- 18But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
- 19to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
- 20We wait in hope for the LORD ; he is our help and our shield.
- 21In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
- 22May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD , even as we put our hope in you.
