Psalm 33 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Praise to the Creator and Protector.

Psa 33:1

Sing for joy in the LORD, you righteous ones;

Praise is becoming to the upright.

Psa 33:2

Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;

Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.

Psa 33:3

Sing to Him a new song;

Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

Psa 33:4

For the word of the LORD is right,

And all His work is done in faithfulness.

Psa 33:5

He loves righteousness and justice;

The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

Psa 33:6

By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,

And by the breath of His mouth all their [fn]lights.

Psa 33:7

He gathers the waters of the sea together [fn]as a heap;

He puts the depths in storehouses.

Psa 33:8

Let all the earth fear the LORD;

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

Psa 33:9

For He spoke, and it was done;

He commanded, and it [fn]stood firm.

Psa 33:10

The LORD nullifies the plan of nations;

He frustrates the plans of peoples.

Psa 33:11

The plan of the LORD stands forever,

The plans of His heart from generation to generation.

Psa 33:12

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,

The people He has chosen for His own inheritance.

Psa 33:13

The LORD looks from heaven;

He sees all the sons of mankind;

Psa 33:14

From His dwelling place He looks out

On all the inhabitants of the earth,

Psa 33:15

He who fashions [fn]the hearts of them all,

He who understands all their works.

Psa 33:16

The king is not saved by a mighty army;

A warrior is not rescued by great strength.

Psa 33:17

A horse is a false hope for victory;

Nor does it rescue anyone by its great strength.

Psa 33:18

Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,

On those who wait for His faithfulness,

Psa 33:19

To rescue their soul from death

And to keep them alive in famine.

Psa 33:20

Our soul waits for the LORD;

He is our help and our shield.

Psa 33:21

For our heart rejoices in Him,

Because we trust in His holy name.

Psa 33:22

Let Your favor, LORD, be upon us,

Just as we have waited for You.
