Psalm 33 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Praise to the Creator and Preserver.

Psa 33:1Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming to the upright.
Psa 33:2Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.
Psa 33:3Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Psa 33:4For the word of the LORD is upright,
And all His work is done in faithfulness.
Psa 33:5He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
Psa 33:6By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
Psa 33:7He gathers the waters of the sea together [fn]as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
Psa 33:8Let all the earth fear the LORD;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
Psa 33:9For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it [fn]stood fast.
Psa 33:10The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
Psa 33:11The counsel of the LORD stands forever,
The plans of His heart from generation to generation.
Psa 33:12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.
Psa 33:13The LORD looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men;
Psa 33:14From His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
Psa 33:15He who fashions [fn]the hearts of them all,
He who understands all their works.
Psa 33:16The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
Psa 33:17A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
Psa 33:18Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who [fn]hope for His lovingkindness,
Psa 33:19To deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive in famine.
Psa 33:20Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and our shield.
Psa 33:21For our heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
Psa 33:22Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us,
According as we have [fn]hoped in You.
