33:1 | | Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright. |
33:2 | | Give praise to the Lord on the corded instrument; make melody to him with instruments of music. |
33:3 | | Make a new song to him; playing expertly with a loud noise. |
33:4 | | For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are certain. |
33:5 | | His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord. |
33:6 | | By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth. |
33:7 | | He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses. |
33:8 | | Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him. |
33:9 | | For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever. |
33:10 | | The Lord undoes the designs of the nations; he makes the thoughts of the peoples without effect. |
33:11 | | The Lord's purpose is eternal, the designs of his heart go on through all the generations of man. |
33:12 | | Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage. |
33:13 | | The Lord is looking down from heaven; he sees all the sons of men; |
33:14 | | From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth; |
33:15 | | He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him. |
33:16 | | A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength. |
33:17 | | A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger. |
33:18 | | See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy; |
33:19 | | To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need. |
33:20 | | Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation. |
33:21 | | For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope. |
33:22 | | Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you. |
