AB - Psalms - 33

33:1  Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; praise becomes the upright.

33:2  Praise the Lord on the harp; make melody to Him on a psaltery of ten strings.

33:3  Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.

33:4  For the word of the Lord is right; and all His works are faithful.

33:5  He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

33:6  By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.

33:7  Who gathers the waters of the sea as in a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.

33:8  Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of Him.

33:9  For He spoke, and they were made; He commanded, and they were created.

33:10  The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; He brings to nought the reasonings of the people, and brings to nought the counsels of princes.

33:11  But the counsel of the Lord endures forever, the thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.

33:12  Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

33:13  The Lord looks out of heaven; He beholds all the sons of men.

33:14  He looks down from His dwelling place on all the inhabitants of the earth;

33:15  who fashioned their hearts alone; who understands all their works.

33:16  A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered by the greatness of his strength.

33:17  A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power.

33:18  Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear Him, those that hope in His mercy;

33:19  to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

33:20  Our soul waits on the Lord; for He is our helper and defender.

33:21  For our heart shall rejoice in Him, and we have hoped in His holy name.

33:22  Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in You.
