33:1 Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
33:2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
33:3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.
33:4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
33:5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.
33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses.
33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him.
33:9 For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
33:10 The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
33:11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.
33:13 From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;
33:14 from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth--
33:15 he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
33:16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
33:17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
33:18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
33:19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
33:20 We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
33:21 In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
33:22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
