33:1 Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright. 33:2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings! 33:3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts. 33:4 For the word of the LORD is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness. 33:5 He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD. 33:6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host. 33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses. 33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him! 33:9 For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. 33:10 The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. 33:11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations. 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! 33:13 The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; 33:14 from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, 33:15 he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds. 33:16 The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. 33:17 The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue. 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, 33:19 that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine. 33:20 Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. 33:21 For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. 33:22 Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.
