Psalm 3330
33:1 You godly ones, shout for joy because of the Lord!
It is appropriate for the morally upright to offer him praise.
33:2 Give thanks to the Lord with the harp!
Sing to him to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument!
33:3 Sing to him a new song!1
Play skillfully as you shout out your praises to him!2
33:4 For3 the Lord’s decrees4 are just,5
and everything he does is fair.6
33:5 The Lord promotes7 equity and justice;
the Lord’s faithfulness extends throughout the earth.8
33:6 By the Lord’s decree9 the heavens were made;
by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created.10
33:7 He piles up the water of the sea;11
he puts the oceans12 in storehouses.
33:8 Let the whole earth fear13 the Lord!
Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him!
33:9 For he spoke, and it14 came into existence,
he issued the decree,15 and it stood firm.
33:10 The Lord frustrates16 the decisions of the nations;
he nullifies the plans17 of the peoples.
33:11 The Lord’s decisions stand forever;
his plans abide throughout the ages.18
33:12 How blessed19 is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom he has chosen to be his special possession.20
33:13 The Lord watches21 from heaven;
he sees all people.22
33:14 From the place where he lives he looks carefully
at all the earth’s inhabitants.
33:15 He is the one who forms every human heart,23
and takes note of all their actions.
33:16 No king is delivered by his vast army;
a warrior is not saved by his great might.
33:17 A horse disappoints those who trust in it for victory;24
despite its great strength, it cannot deliver.
33:18 Look, the Lord takes notice of his loyal followers,25
those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness26
33:19 by saving their lives from death27
and sustaining them during times of famine.28
33:20 We29 wait for the Lord;
he is our deliverer30 and shield.31
33:21 For our hearts rejoice in him,
for we trust in his holy name.
33:22 May we experience your faithfulness, O Lord,32
for33 we wait for you.
