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. |
