33:1 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
33:2 Give thanks to the Lord on the harp; offer praise to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
33:3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings with joyful shouts.
33:4 For the word of the Lord is true, and he is faithful in everything he does.
33:5 The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is filled with his kindness.
33:6 The heavens were made by the word of the Lord, and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea as in a bowl; he places the deep in storehouses.
33:8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world revere him.
33:9 For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
33:10 The Lord thwarts the plans of nations and frustrates the designs of peoples.
33:11 But the plan of the Lord remains forever, the designs of his heart for all generations.
33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage.
33:13 The Lord gazes down from heaven and beholds the entire human race.
33:14 From his royal throne he watches all who dwell on the earth.
33:15 He who has fashioned the hearts of them all observes everything they do.
33:16 A king is not saved by a large army, nor is a warrior delivered by great strength.
33:17 A horse offers false hope for victory; despite its power it cannot save.
33:18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those who trust in his kindness,
33:19 to deliver them from death and to preserve their lives in time of famine.
33:20 Our soul waits in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.
33:21 Our hearts rejoice in him because we trust in his holy name.
33:22 O Lord, let your kindness rest upon us, for we have placed our hope in you.
