33:1   All you that are righteous, shout for joy for what the LORD has done; praise him, all you that obey him.

33:2   Give thanks to the LORD with harps, sing to him with stringed instruments.

33:3   Sing a new song to him, play the harp with skill, and shout for joy!

33:4   The words of the LORD are true, and all his works are dependable.

33:5   The LORD loves what is righteous and just; his constant love fills the earth.

33:6   The LORD created the heavens by his command, the sun, moon, and stars by his spoken word.

33:7   He gathered all the seas into one place; he shut up the ocean depths in storerooms.

33:8   Worship the LORD, all the earth! Honor him, all peoples of the world!

33:9   When he spoke, the world was created; at his command everything appeared.

33:10   The LORD frustrates the purposes of the nations; he keeps them from carrying out their plans.

33:11   But his plans endure forever; his purposes last eternally.

33:12   Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; happy are the people he has chosen for his own!

33:13   The LORD looks down from heaven and sees all of us humans.

33:14   From where he rules, he looks down on all who live on earth.

33:15   He forms all their thoughts and knows everything they do.

33:16   A king does not win because of his powerful army; a soldier does not triumph because of his strength.

33:17   War horses are useless for victory; their great strength cannot save.

33:18   The LORD watches over those who obey him, those who trust in his constant love.

33:19   He saves them from death; he keeps them alive in times of famine.

33:20   We put our hope in the LORD; he is our protector and our help.

33:21   We are glad because of him; we trust in his holy name.

33:22   May your constant love be with us, LORD, as we put our hope in you.
