33:1 You who are godly, sing with joy to the Lord. It is right for honest people to praise him.
33:2 With the harp, praise the Lord. With the lyre that has ten strings, make music to him.
33:3 Sing a new song to him. Play with skill, and shout with joy.
33:4 What the Lord says is right and true. He is faithful in everything he does.
33:5 The Lord loves what is right and fair. The earth is full of his faithful love.
33:6 The heavens were made when the Lord commanded it to happen. All the stars were created by the breath of his mouth.
33:7 He gathers together the waters of the sea. He puts the oceans in their places.
33:8 Let the whole earth have respect for the Lord. Let all the people in the world honor him.
33:9 He spoke, and the world came into being. He commanded, and it stood firm.
33:10 The Lord blocks the sinful plans of the nations. He keeps them from doing what they want to do.
33:11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever. What he wants to do will last for all time.
33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Blessed are the people he chose to be his own.
33:13 From heaven the Lord looks down and sees everyone.
33:14 From his throne he watches all those who live on the earth.
33:15 He creates the hearts of all people. He is aware of everything they do.
33:16 A king isn’t saved just because his army is big. A soldier doesn’t escape just because he is very strong.
33:17 People can’t trust a horse to save them either. Though it is very strong, it can’t save them.
33:18 But the Lord looks with favor on those who respect him. He watches over those who put their hope in his faithful love.
33:19 He watches over them to save them from death. He wants to keep them alive when there is no food in the land.
33:20 We wait in hope for the Lord. He helps us. He is like a shield that keeps us safe.
33:21 Our hearts are full of joy because of him. We trust in him, because he is holy.
33:22 Lord, may your faithful love be with us. We put our hope in you.
