Psalm 33-Praise God Who Creates and Saves

 ¹ Sing to the Lord, you who do what is right;
       honest people should praise him.
 ² Praise the Lord on the harp;
       make music for him on a ten-stringed lyre.
 ³ Sing a new song to him;
       play well and joyfully.

 ⁴ God's word is true,
       and everything he does is right.
 ⁵ He loves what is right and fair;
       the Lord's love fills the earth.

 ⁶ The sky was made at the Lord's command.
       By the breath from his mouth, he made all the stars.
 ⁷ He gathered the water of the sea into a heap.
       He made the great ocean stay in its place.
 ⁸ All the earth should worship the Lord;
       the whole world should fear him.
 ⁹ He spoke, and it happened.
       He commanded, and it appeared.
 ¹⁰ The Lord upsets the plans of nations;
       he ruins all their plans.
 ¹¹ But the Lord's plans will stand forever;
       his ideas will last from now on.
 ¹² Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord,
       the people he chose for his very own.
 ¹³ The Lord looks down from heaven
       and sees every person.
 ¹⁴ From his throne he watches
       all who live on earth.
 ¹⁵ He made their hearts
       and understands everything they do.
 ¹⁶ No king is saved by his great army.
       No warrior escapes by his great strength.
 ¹⁷ Horses can't bring victory;
       they can't save by their strength.
 ¹⁸ But the Lord looks after those who fear him,
       those who put their hope in his love.
 ¹⁹ He saves them from death
       and spares their lives in times of hunger.
 ²⁰ So our hope is in the Lord.
       He is our help, our shield to protect us.
 ²¹ We rejoice in him,
       because we trust his holy name.
 ²² Lord, show your love to us
       as we put our hope in you. (Psalm 33, New Century Version) Pin It Now!
