Psalms 33

Psalm 33 ESV

1The faithful are called upon to praise God for his goodness; 6for his power seen in his works of creation, and in the stability of his counsel; 12and for his providence, 18and especial care over good men. 20Confidence is therefore to be placed in God.
1 1Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous! 2Praise befits the upright.
2 Give thanks to the Lord with the 1lyre; make melody to him with 2the harp of 3ten strings!
3 Sing to him 1a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
4 For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in 1faithfulness.
5 He 1loves righteousness and justice; 2the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
6 By 1the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by 2the breath of his mouth all 3their host.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea as 1a heap; he 2puts the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
9 For 1he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord 1brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11 1The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations.
12 1Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has 2chosen as his heritage!
13 The Lord 1looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man;
14 from 1where he sits enthroned he 2looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds.
16 1The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
17 1The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue.
18 Behold, 1the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, 2on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19 that he may 1deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in 2famine.
20 Our soul 1waits for the Lord; he is our 2help and 3our shield.
21 For our heart is 1glad in him, because we 2trust in his holy name.
22 Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.
