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