Psalms 33

The Sovereignty of the Lord in Creation and History

¹Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.

²Praise the Lord with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.

³Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

⁴For the word of the Lord is right, And all His work is done in truth.

⁵He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

⁶By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.

⁷He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses.

⁸Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

⁹For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

¹⁰The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.

¹¹The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.

¹³The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.

¹⁴From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth;

¹⁵He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works.

¹⁶No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

¹⁷A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.

¹⁸Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy,

¹⁹To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.

²⁰Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.

²¹For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.

²²Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, Just as we hope in You.
