﻿Psalm.
Chapter 33.
Sing for joy in the LORD, you righteous; praise befits the upright. 
Thank the LORD with the lyre; sing praise to him on a harp of ten strings. 
Sing him a new song; play skillfully with shouts of joy. 
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 like a heap; he puts the depths in storehouses. 
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the world’s inhabitants stand in awe of him. 
For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. 
The LORD frustrates the counsel of the nations; he thwarts the plans of the peoples. 
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart from generation to generation. 
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he has chosen as his inheritance. 
The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all humankind. 
From his dwelling place he watches all who inhabit the earth. 
He forms the hearts of them all and understands all their deeds. 
No king is saved by a great army; no warrior is delivered by great strength. 
A horse is a false hope for salvation; its great might cannot rescue. 
Look, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, 
to deliver their souls from death and keep them alive in famine. 
Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. 
For our heart rejoices in him, because we trust in his holy name. 
May your steadfast love be upon us, LORD, as we hope in you.
