The Steadfast Love of the Lord

33 hShout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous!

iPraise befits the upright.

2  Give thanks to the Lord with the jlyre;

make melody to him with jthe harp of kten strings!

3  Sing to him la new song;

play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.

4  For the word of the Lord is upright,

and all his work is done in mfaithfulness.

5  He nloves righteousness and justice;

othe earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

6  By pthe word of the Lord the heavens were made,

and by qthe breath of his mouth all rtheir host.

7  He gathers the waters of the sea as sa heap;

he tputs the deeps in storehouses.

8  Let all the earth fear the Lord;

let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!

9  For uhe spoke, and it came to be;

he commanded, and it stood firm.

10  The Lord vbrings the counsel of the nations to nothing;

he frustrates the plans of the peoples.

11  wThe counsel of the Lord stands forever,

the plans of his heart to all generations.
