Psa33

Psalms – Chapter 33

I

¹Rejoice, you righteous, in the LORD;

praise from the upright is fitting.

²Give thanks to the LORD on the harp;

on the ten-stringed lyre offer praise.

³Sing to him a new song;

skillfully play with joyful chant.

⁴For the LORD’s word is upright;

all his works are trustworthy.

⁵He loves justice and right.

The earth is full of the mercy of the LORD.

II

⁶By the LORD’s word the heavens were made;

by the breath of his mouth all their host.

⁷He gathered the waters of the sea as a mound;

he sets the deep into storage vaults.

III

⁸Let all the earth fear the LORD;

let all who dwell in the world show him reverence.

⁹For he spoke, and it came to be,

commanded, and it stood in place.

¹⁰The LORD foils the plan of nations,

frustrates the designs of peoples.

¹¹But the plan of the LORD stands forever,

the designs of his heart through all generations.

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,

the people chosen as his inheritance.

IV

¹³From heaven the LORD looks down

and observes the children of Adam,

¹⁴From his dwelling place he surveys

all who dwell on earth.

¹⁵The One who fashioned together their hearts

is the One who knows all their works.

V

¹⁶A king is not saved by a great army,

nor a warrior delivered by great strength.

¹⁷Useless is the horse for safety;

despite its great strength, it cannot be saved.

¹⁸Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear him,

upon those who count on his mercy,

¹⁹To deliver their soul from death,

and to keep them alive through famine.

VI

²⁰Our soul waits for the LORD,

he is our help and shield.

²¹For in him our hearts rejoice;

in his holy name we trust.

²²May your mercy, LORD, be upon us;

as we put our hope in you.
