- 33Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous. To praise the Lord is comely for the upright in heart. 2Praise the Lord with your voice. Sing unto him with the psaltery and harp, an instrument with ten strings. 3Sing unto him a new song. Play skillfully with a loud noise.
- 4For the word of the Lord is given to the upright and all his works are done in truth. 5He loves righteousness and judgment. The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. 6By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deep in storehouses. 8Let all the earth fear the Lord. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9For he spoke, and it was finished. He commanded, and it stood fast. 10The Lord brings the counsel of the heathen to naught. He makes the devices of the people of no effect. 11The counsel of the Lord stands for ever and the thoughts of his heart are to all generations. 12Blessed are the nations and the people whom the Lord God has chosen for his own inheritance.
- 13The Lord looks from Heaven, he beholds all the sons of men. 14From the place of his habitation, he looks upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 15He fashions their hearts alike. He considers all their works. 16There is no king saved by the multitude of a host. A mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 17A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. 18Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy 19to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in a time of famine. 20Our soul waits for the Lord. He is our help and our shield. 21For our heart shall rejoice in him because we have trusted in his holy name. 22Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us according as we hope in you.
