Psalms 33

¹Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones; Praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright [in heart—those with moral integrity and godly character].

²Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with the harp of ten strings.

³Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully [on the strings] with a loud and joyful sound.

⁴For the word of the LORD is right; And all His work is done in faithfulness.

⁵He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.

⁶By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, And all their host by the breath of His mouth.

⁷He gathers the waters of the sea together as in a wineskin; He puts the deeps in storehouses.

⁸Let all the earth fear and worship 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 nullifies the counsel of the nations; He makes the thoughts and plans of the people ineffective.

¹¹The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The thoughts and plans of His heart through all generations.

¹²Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance.

¹³The LORD looks [down] from heaven; He sees all the sons of man;

¹⁴From His dwelling place He looks closely Upon all the inhabitants of the earth—

¹⁵He who fashions the hearts of them all, Who considers and understands all that they do.

¹⁶The king is not saved by the great size of his army; A warrior is not rescued by his great strength.

¹⁷A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.

¹⁸Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience], On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness,

¹⁹To rescue their lives from death And keep them alive in famine.

²⁰We wait [expectantly] for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.

²¹For in Him our heart rejoices, Because we trust [lean on, rely on, and are confident] in His holy name.

²²Let Your [steadfast] lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us, In proportion as we have[1] hoped in You.
