33:1 Sing to the Lord, you who do what is right; honest people should praise him.
33:2 Praise the Lord on the harp; make music for him on a ten-stringed lyre.
33:3 Sing a new song to him; play well and joyfully.
33:4 God’s word is true, and everything he does is right.
33:5 He loves what is right and fair; the Lord’s love fills the earth.
33:6 The sky was made at the Lord’s command. By the breath from his mouth, he made all the stars.
33:7 He gathered the water of the sea into a heap. He made the great ocean stay in its place.
33:8 All the earth should worship the Lord; the whole world should fear him.
33:9 He spoke, and it happened. He commanded, and it appeared.
33:10 The Lord upsets the plans of nations; he ruins all their plans.
33:11 But the Lord’s plans will stand forever; his ideas will last from now on.
33:12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his very own.
33:13 The Lord looks down from heaven and sees every person.
33:14 From his throne he watches all who live on earth.
33:15 He made their hearts and understands everything they do.
33:16 No king is saved by his great army. No warrior escapes by his great strength.
33:17 Horses can’t bring victory; they can’t save by their strength.
33:18 But the Lord looks after those who fear him, those who put their hope in his love.
33:19 He saves them from death and spares their lives in times of hunger.
33:20 So our hope is in the Lord. He is our help, our shield to protect us.
33:21 We rejoice in him, because we trust his holy name.
33:22 Lord, show your love to us as we put our hope in you.
