The Sovereignty of the Lord in Creation and History

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

2 Praise the Lord with the harp;
¹Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.

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

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

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

6 ^aBy the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the ^bhost of them ^cby the breath of His mouth.

Psalms 33:2 >>

Psalms 33:1-3

A call to lively and joyous praise to God for His glorious attributes and works, as displayed in creation, and His general and special providence, in view of which, the Psalmist, for all the pious, professes trust and joy and invokes God's mercy. (Psa. 33:1-22)

The sentiment falls in with Psalms 32:11 (compare I Corinthians 14:15). The instruments (Psalms 92:3; Psalms 144:9) do not exclude the voice.
