33:1 Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
33:2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
33:3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.
33:4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
33:5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.
33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses.
33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him.
33:9 For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
33:10 The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
33:11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.
33:13 From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;
33:14 from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth–
33:15 he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
33:16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
33:17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
33:18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
33:19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
33:20 We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
33:21 In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
33:22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
33:1 Rejoice in Jehovah, O righteous ones. / Praise is becoming to the upright.
33:2 Give thanks to Jehovah with the lyre; / With the harp of ten strings sing psalms to Him.
33:3 Sing Him a new song; / Play skillfully with a joyous shout.
33:4 For the word of Jehovah 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 Jehovah.
33:6 By the word of Jehovah the heavens were made, / And all their host, by the breath of His mouth.
33:7 He gathers the water of the sea like a heap; / He puts the deep waters into storage places.
33:8 Let all the earth fear Jehovah; / Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
33:9 For He spoke, and it was; / He commanded, and it stood.
33:10 Jehovah brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; / He frustrates the intentions of the peoples.
33:11 The counsel of Jehovah stands forever; / The intentions of His heart stand from generation to generation.
33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, / The people whom He has chosen as His own possession.
33:13 Jehovah looks from heaven; / He sees all the sons of men.
33:14 From the site of His habitation He gazes / At all the inhabitants of the earth,
33:15 He who fashions the hearts of them all, / He who discerns all their works.
33:16 No king is saved by a great army; / A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
33:17 A horse is a vain thing for salvation, / And it cannot deliver by its great power.
33:18 Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon those who fear Him, / Upon those who hope in His lovingkindness,
33:19 To deliver their soul from death / And to preserve them alive in famine.
33:20 Our soul waits on Jehovah; / He is our help and our shield;
33:21 For in Him our heart rejoices, / Because in His holy name we trust.
33:22 May Your lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, / Even as we have hoped in You.
