1.8 KiB
Psalm 33Praise to the Creator
-
Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones; praise from the upright is beautiful.
-
Praise the Lord with the lyre; make music to him with a ten-stringed harp.
-
Sing a new song to him; play skillfully on the strings, with a joyful shout.
-
For the word of the Lord is right, and all his work is trustworthy.
-
He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the Lord's unfailing love.
-
The heavens were made by the word of the Lord, and all the stars, by the breath of his mouth.
-
He gathers the water of the sea into a heap; he puts the depths into storehouses.
-
Let the whole earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
-
For he spoke, and it came into being; he commanded, and it came into existence.
-
The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations; he thwarts the plans of the peoples.
-
The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart from generation to generation.
-
Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord-- the people he has chosen to be his own possession!
-
The Lord looks down from heaven; he observes everyone.
-
He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth from his dwelling place.
-
He forms the hearts of them all; he considers all their works.
-
A king is not saved by a large army; a warrior will not be rescued by great strength.
-
The horse is a false hope for safety; it provides no escape by its great power.
-
But look, the Lord keeps his eye on those who fear him-- those who depend on his faithful love
-
to rescue them from death and to keep them alive in famine.
-
We wait for the Lord; he is our help and shield.
-
For our hearts rejoice in him because we trust in his holy name.
-
May your faithful love rest on us, Lord, for we put our hope in you.
