# Chapter 33
|
||
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. |
