Psalms 33 · Clearspring

Praise to the Creator

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