33:1  Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones; Praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright [in heart—those with moral integrity and godly character].
33:2  Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with the harp of ten strings.
33:3  Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully [on the strings] with a loud and joyful sound.
33:4  For the word of the Lord is right; And all His work is done in faithfulness.
33:5  He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.
33:6  By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, And all their host by the breath of His mouth.
33:7  He gathers the waters of the sea together as in a wineskin; He puts the deeps in storehouses.
33:8  Let all the earth fear and worship the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
33:9  For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
33:10  The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations; He makes the thoughts and plans of the people ineffective.
33:11  The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The thoughts and plans of His heart through all generations.
33:12  Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance.
33:13  The Lord looks [down] from heaven; He sees all the sons of man;
33:14  From His dwelling place He looks closely Upon all the inhabitants of the earth—
33:15  He who fashions the hearts of them all, Who considers and understands all that they do.
33:16  The king is not saved by the great size of his army; A warrior is not rescued by his great strength.
33:17  A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
33:18  Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience], On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness,
33:19  To rescue their lives from death And keep them alive in famine.
33:20  We wait [expectantly] for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
33:21  For in Him our heart rejoices, Because we trust [lean on, rely on, and are confident] in His holy name.
33:22  Let Your [steadfast] lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us, In proportion as we have hoped in You.
