Psalm 33:2–9

Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;

make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!

Sing to him a new song;

play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.

For the word of the Lord is upright,

and all his work is done in faithfulness.

He loves righteousness and justice;

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

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,

and by the breath of his mouth all their host.

He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap;

he puts the deeps in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the Lord;

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

For he spoke, and it came to be;

he commanded, and it stood firm.

Praise the Lord with the harp;

make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.

Sing to him a new song;

play skillfully, and shout for joy.

For the word of the Lord is right and true;

he is faithful in all he does.

The Lord loves righteousness and justice;

the earth is full of his unfailing love.

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,

their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;

he puts the deep into storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the Lord;

let all the people of the world revere him.

For he spoke, and it came to be;

he commanded, and it stood firm.

Praise the Lord with the lyre;

make music to him with a ten-stringed harp.

Sing a new song to him;

play skillfully on the strings, with a joyful shout.

For the word of the Lord is right,

and all his work is trustworthy.

He loves righteousness and justice;

the earth is full of the Lord’s unfailing love.

The heavens were made by the word of the Lord,

and all the stars, by the breath of his mouth.

He gathers the water of the sea into a heap;

he puts the depths into storehouses.

Let the whole earth fear the Lord;

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

For he spoke, and it came into being;

he commanded, and it came into existence.

Praise the Lord with melodies on the lyre;

make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.

Sing a new song of praise to him;

play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy.

For the word of the Lord holds true,

and we can trust everything he does.

He loves whatever is just and good;

the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.

The Lord merely spoke,

and the heavens were created.

He breathed the word,

and all the stars were born.

He assigned the sea its boundaries

and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.

Let the whole world fear the Lord,

and let everyone stand in awe of him.

For when he spoke, the world began!

It appeared at his command.

Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre;

with a harp of ten strings play to him.

Sing to him a new song;

play skillfully with jubilant shout.

For the word of Yahweh is upright,

and all his work is done in faithfulness.

He loves righteousness and justice.

The earth is full of the loyal love of Yahweh.

By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made,

and by the breath of his mouth all their host.

He gathered the waters of the sea like a heap.

He put the deeps in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear Yahweh.

Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

For he himself spoke and it came to pass.

He himself commanded and it stood firm.

Praise the Lord with harp:

Sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

Sing unto him a new song;

Play skilfully with a loud noise.

For the word of the Lord is right;

And all his works are done in truth.

He loveth righteousness and judgment:

The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made;

And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap:

He layeth up the depth in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the Lord:

Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

For he spake, and it was done;

He commanded, and it stood fast.
