Psalm 33


The Sovereignty of the Lord in Creation and History

Rejoice ain the Lord, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.

2
Praise the Lord with the harp;
1Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.

3
Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.


4
For the word of the Lord is right,
And all His work is done in truth.

5
He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.


6
aBy the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the bhost of them cby the breath of His mouth.

7
aHe gathers the waters of the sea together 1as a heap;
He lays up the deep in storehouses.


8
Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

9
For aHe spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.


10
aThe Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.

11
aThe counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.

12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has achosen as His own inheritance.


13
aThe Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.

14
From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;

15
He fashions their hearts individually;
aHe 1considers all their works.


16
aNo king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

17
aA horse is a 1vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.


18
aBehold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,

19
To deliver their soul from death,
And ato keep them alive in famine.


20
Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.

21
For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.

22
Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.
