Psalms 33 ⓘ

33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.

33:2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.

33:3 Sing to him a new song. Play skilfully with a shout of joy!

33:4 For the LORD’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.

33:5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of the LORD.

33:6 By the LORD’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.

33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

33:9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.

33:10 The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

33:11 The counsel of the LORD stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

33:13 The LORD looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.

33:14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,

33:15 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.

33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

33:17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.

33:18 Behold, the LORD’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,

33:19 to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.

33:20 Our soul has waited for the LORD. He is our help and our shield.

33:21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

33:22 Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.
