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