NRSV Psalms 33 Chapter
33:1
Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous. Praise befits the upright.
33:2
Praise the LORD with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings.
33:3
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
33:4
For the word of the LORD is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness.
33:5
He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.
33:6
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
33:7
He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle; he put the deeps in storehouses.
33:8
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
33:9
For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
33:10
The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
33:11
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
33:12
Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage.
33:13
The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all humankind.
33:14
From where he sits enthroned he watches all the inhabitants of the earth--
33:15
he who fashions the hearts of them all, and observes all their deeds.
33:16
A king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
33:17
The war horse is a vain hope for victory, and by its great might it cannot save.
33:18
Truly the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,
33:19
to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and shield.
33:21
Our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.

Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.
