Psalm 33 THE STEADFAST LOVE OF THE LORD 1 h Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous! i Praise befits the upright. 2 Give thanks to the Lord with the j lyre; make melody to him with j the harp of k ten strings! 3 Sing to him l 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 m faithfulness. 5 He n loves righteousness and justice; o the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord. 6 By p the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by q the breath of his mouth all r their host. 7 He gathers the waters of the sea as s a heap; he t 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 u he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. 10 The Lord v brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. 11 w The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations. 12 x Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has y chosen as his heritage! 13 The Lord z looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; 14 from a where he sits enthroned he b looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, 15 he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds. 16 c The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. 17 d The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue. 18 Behold, e the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, f on those who hope in his steadfast love, 19 that he may g deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in h famine. 20 Our soul i waits for the Lord; he is our j help and k our shield. 21 For our heart is l glad in him, because we m trust in his holy name. 22 Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.
