[33:1] All you that are righteous, shout for joy for what the Lord has done; praise him, all you that obey him.
[33:2] Give thanks to the Lord with harps, sing to him with stringed instruments.
[33:3] Sing a new song to him, play the harp with skill, and shout for joy!
[33:4] The words of the Lord are true, and all his works are dependable.
[33:5] The Lord loves what is righteous and just; his constant love fills the earth.
[33:6] The Lord created the heavens by his command, the sun, moon, and stars by his spoken word.
[33:7] He gathered all the seas into one place; he shut up the ocean depths in storerooms.
[33:8] Worship the Lord, all the earth! Honor him, all peoples of the world!
[33:9] When he spoke, the world was created; at his command everything appeared.
[33:10] The Lord frustrates the purposes of the nations; he keeps them from carrying out their plans.
[33:11] But his plans endure forever; his purposes last eternally.
[33:12] Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; happy are the people he has chosen for his own!
[33:13] The Lord looks down from heaven and sees all of us humans.
[33:14] From where he rules, he looks down on all who live on earth.
[33:15] He forms all their thoughts and knows everything they do.
[33:16] A king does not win because of his powerful army; a soldier does not triumph because of his strength.
[33:17] War horses are useless for victory; their great strength cannot save.
[33:18] The Lord watches over those who obey him, those who trust in his constant love.
[33:19] He saves them from death; he keeps them alive in times of famine.
[33:20] We put our hope in the Lord; he is our protector and our help.
[33:21] We are glad because of him; we trust in his holy name.
[33:22] May your constant love be with us, Lord, as we put our hope in you.
