# Psalm 33 (New King James Version)
The Sovereignty of the Lord in Creation and History

##### Chapter 33
###### 1 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous!  
_For_ praise from the upright is beautiful.  

###### 2 Praise the Lord with the harp;  
Make 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 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,  
And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.  

###### 7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as 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 He spoke, and it was _done;_  
He commanded, and it stood fast.

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

###### 11 The 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 chosen as His own inheritance.

###### 13 The 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;  
He considers all their works.

###### 16 No king _is_ saved by the multitude of an army;  
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.  

###### 17 A horse _is_ a vain hope for safety;  
Neither shall it deliver _any_ by its great strength.

###### 18 Behold, 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 to 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.
