Psalm 33
New International Version

Psalm 33

¹Sing joyfully^(A)to theLord, you righteous;
    it is fitting^(B)for the upright^(C)to praise him.
²Praise theLordwith the harp;^(D)
    make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.^(E)
³Sing to him a new song;^(F)
    play skillfully, and shout for joy.^(G)

⁴For the word of theLordis right^(H)and true;^(I)
he is faithful^(J)in all he does.
⁵TheLordloves righteousness and justice;^(K)
the earth is full of his unfailing love.^(L)

⁶By the word^(M)of theLordthe heavens were made,^(N)
    their starry host^(O)by the breath of his mouth.
⁷He gathers the waters^(P)of the sea into jars^[a];^(Q)
    he puts the deep into storehouses.
⁸Let all the earth fear theLord;^(R)
    let all the people of the world^(S)revere him.^(T)
⁹For he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded,^(U)and it stood firm.

¹⁰TheLordfoils^(V)the plans^(W)of the nations;^(X)
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
¹¹But the plans of theLordstand firm^(Y)forever,
the purposes^(Z)of his heart through all generations.

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is theLord,^(AA)
    the people he chose^(AB)for his inheritance.^(AC)
¹³From heaven theLordlooks down^(AD)
    and sees all mankind;^(AE)
¹⁴from his dwelling place^(AF)he watches
    all who live on earth—
¹⁵he who forms^(AG)the hearts of all,
    who considers everything they do.^(AH)

¹⁶No king is saved by the size of his army;^(AI)
    no warrior escapes by his great strength.
¹⁷A horse^(AJ)is a vain hope for deliverance;
    despite all its great strength it cannot save.
¹⁸But the eyes^(AK)of theLordare on those who fear him,
    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,^(AL)
¹⁹to deliver them from death^(AM)
    and keep them alive in famine.^(AN)

²⁰We wait^(AO)in hope for theLord;
    he is our help and our shield.
²¹In him our hearts rejoice,^(AP)
    for we trust in his holy name.^(AQ)
²²May your unfailing love^(AR)be with us,Lord,
    even as we put our hope in you.
