Psalm 33

¹Rejoice in the Lord For praise from the upright is beautiful.

²Praise the Lord Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.

³Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

⁴For the word of the Lord And all His work is done in truth.

⁵He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord

⁶By the word of the Lord And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.

⁷He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep 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; He commanded, and it stood fast.

¹⁰The Lord He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.

¹¹The counsel of the Lord The plans of His heart to all generations.

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.

¹³The Lord He sees all the sons of men.

¹⁴From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth;

¹⁵He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works.

¹⁶No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

¹⁷A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.

¹⁸Behold, the eye of the Lord On those who hope in His mercy,

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 shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.

²²Let Your mercy, O Lord Just as we hope in You.
