Psalms 33 — NETB
33Verse 1You godly ones, shout for joy because of the Lord!
It is appropriate for the morally upright to offer him praise.
Verse 2Give thanks to the Lord with the harp!
Sing to him to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument!
Verse 3Sing to him a new song!
Play skillfully as you shout out your praises to him!
Verse 4For the Lord’s decrees are just,
and everything he does is fair.
Verse 5The Lord promotes equity and justice;
the Lord’s faithfulness extends throughout the earth.
Verse 6By the Lord’s decree the heavens were made;
by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created.
Verse 7He piles up the water of the sea;
he puts the oceans in storehouses.
Verse 8Let the whole earth fear the Lord!
Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him!
Verse 9For he spoke, and it came into existence,
he issued the decree, and it stood firm.
Verse 10The Lord frustrates the decisions of the nations;
he nullifies the plans of the peoples.
Verse 11The Lord’s decisions stand forever;
his plans abide throughout the ages.
Verse 12How blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom he has chosen to be his special possession.
Verse 13The Lord watches from heaven;
he sees all people.
Verse 14From the place where he lives he looks carefully
at all the earth’s inhabitants.
Verse 15He is the one who forms every human heart,
and takes note of all their actions.
Verse 16No king is delivered by his vast army;
a warrior is not saved by his great might.
Verse 17A horse disappoints those who trust in it for victory;
despite its great strength, it cannot deliver.
Verse 18Look, the Lord takes notice of his loyal followers,
those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness
Verse 19by saving their lives from death
and sustaining them during times of famine.
Verse 20We wait for the Lord;
he is our deliverer and shield.
