←Prev   Psalms 33 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


33:1  All you who are righteous, shout joyfully to the Lord! It’s right for those who do right to praise God.
33:2  Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre! Sing praises to him with the ten-stringed harp!
33:3  Sing to him a new song! Play your best with joyful shouts!
33:4  Because the Lord’s word is right, his every act is done in good faith.
33:5  He loves righteousness and justice; the Lord’s faithful love fills the whole earth.
33:6  The skies were made by the Lord’s word, all their starry multitude by the breath of his mouth.
33:7  He gathered the ocean waters into a heap; he put the deep seas into storerooms.
33:8  All the earth honors the Lord; all the earth’s inhabitants stand in awe of him.
33:9  Because when he spoke, it happened! When he commanded, there it was!
33:10  The Lord overrules what the nations plan; he frustrates what the peoples intend to do.
33:11  But the Lord’s plan stands forever; what he intends to do lasts from one generation to the next.
33:12  The nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom God has chosen as his possession, is truly happy!
33:13  The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees every human being.
33:14  From his dwelling place God observes all who live on earth.
33:15  God is the one who made all their hearts, the one who knows everything they do.
33:16  Kings aren’t saved by the strength of their armies; warriors aren’t rescued by how much power they have.
33:17  A warhorse is a bad bet for victory; it can’t save despite its great strength.
33:18  But look here: the Lord’s eyes watch all who honor him, all who wait for his faithful love,
33:19  to deliver their lives from death and keep them alive during a famine.
33:20  We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield.
33:21  Our heart rejoices in God because we trust his holy name.
33:22  Lord, let your faithful love surround us because we wait for you.
