Psalm 33

The Greatness and Goodness of God

¹ Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous.
   Praise befits the upright.
² Praise the Lord with the lyre;
   make melody to him with the harp of ten strings.
³ Sing to him a new song;
   play skilfully on the strings, with loud shouts.

⁴ For the word of the Lord is upright,
   and all his work is done in faithfulness.
⁵ He loves righteousness and justice;
   the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

⁶ By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
   and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
⁷ He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;
   he put the deeps in storehouses.

⁸ Let all the earth fear the Lord;
   let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
⁹ For he spoke, and it came to be;
   he commanded, and it stood firm.

¹⁰ The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
   he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
¹¹ The counsel of the Lord stands for ever,
   the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
