33:1 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous. Praise befits the upright.
33:2 Praise the Lord with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings.
33:3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
33:4 For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness.
33:5 He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
33:6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
33:7 He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle; he put the deeps in storehouses.
33:8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
33:9 For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
33:10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
33:11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
33:12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage.
33:13 The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees all humankind.
33:14 From where he sits enthroned he watches all the inhabitants of the earth—
33:15 he who fashions the hearts of them all, and observes all their deeds.
33:16 A king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
33:17 The war horse is a vain hope for victory, and by its great might it cannot save.
33:18 Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,
33:19 to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
33:20 Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and shield.
33:21 Our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.
33:22 Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.
