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