33:1  You righteous people, sing to praise the Lord, and be happy! It is right for good, honest people to do that.
33:2  Pick up your harp and praise the Lord! Make music for him with a lyre that has ten strings.
33:3  Sing to him a new song! Make beautiful music, as you sing aloud to praise him.
33:4  Yes! The Lord's message is true. We can always trust him to do what is right.
33:5  He loves everything that is right and fair. The world is full of his faithful love.
33:6  The word of the Lord made the heavens. When he spoke, all the stars in the sky appeared.
33:7  He put the water of the sea together in a heap. He made the deep seas stay in their right places.
33:8  Everyone who lives on the earth should respect the Lord. They should bend down to worship him.
33:9  The Lord spoke, and the world began! He spoke his command, and everything became fixed in its place.
33:10  Nations decide what they want to do, but the Lord causes their plans to be useless.
33:11  But whatever the Lord decides to do will always happen. His thoughts will not change from one century to the next.
33:12  The Lord blesses the nation that has him as their God. He has chosen them to belong to him, as his own special people.
33:13  The Lord looks down from heaven. He sees every man, woman and child.
33:14  From the place where he lives, he watches everyone that lives on the earth.
33:15  He made each person and all their thoughts. He knows everything that they do.
33:16  A great army will not save their king. A soldier does not stay alive because he is strong.
33:17  In war, do not hope that even a strong horse will help you to win. You can not trust it to save you.
33:18  Remember, the Lord takes care of people who respect him. Those people trust him for his faithful love.
33:19  They trust him to keep them safe from death, and to keep them alive during a time of famine.
33:20  Yes! We will trust the Lord to come and help us. He is our helper who keeps us safe, like a soldier's shield.
33:21  We are happy because he loves us. We trust in his holy name.
33:22  Lord, help us to know your faithful love, because we are trusting in you.
