33:1 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones; praise from the upright is beautiful.
33:2 Praise the Lord with the lyre; make music to him with a ten-stringed harp.
33:3 Sing a new song to him; play skillfully on the strings, with a joyful shout.
33:4 For the word of the Lord is right, and all his work is trustworthy.
33:5 He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the Lord’s unfailing love.
33:6 The heavens were made by the word of the Lord, and all the stars, by the breath of his mouth.
33:7 He gathers the water of the sea into a heap; he puts the depths into storehouses.
33:8 Let the whole earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
33:9 For he spoke, and it came into being; he commanded, and it came into existence.
33:10 The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations; he thwarts the plans of the peoples.
33:11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart from generation to generation.
33:12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord— the people he has chosen to be his own possession!
33:13 The Lord looks down from heaven; he observes everyone.
33:14 He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth from his dwelling place.
33:15 He forms the hearts of them all; he considers all their works.
33:16 A king is not saved by a large army; a warrior will not be rescued by great strength.
33:17 The horse is a false hope for safety; it provides no escape by its great power.
33:18 But look, the Lord keeps his eye on those who fear him— those who depend on his faithful love
33:19 to rescue them from death and to keep them alive in famine.
33:20 We wait for the Lord; he is our help and shield.
33:21 For our hearts rejoice in him because we trust in his holy name.
33:22 May your faithful love rest on us, Lord, for we put our hope in you.
