Psalm 33
Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous
: for it befits the just to praise him.
Give the Lord thanks upon the harp
: and sing his praise to the lute of ten strings.
O sing him a new song
: make sweetest melody, with shouts of praise.
For the word of the Lord is true
: and all his works are faithful.
He loves righteousness and justice
: the earth is filled with the loving-kindness of the Lord.
By the word of the Lord were the heavens made
: and their numberless stars by the breath of his mouth.
He gathered the waters of the sea as in a water-skin
: and laid up the deep in his treasuries.
Let the whole earth fear the Lord
: and let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
To deliver them from death
: and to feed them in the time of dearth.
We have waited eagerly for the Lord
: for he is our help and our shield.
Surely our hearts shall rejoice in him
: for we have trusted in his holy name.
Let your merciful kindness be upon us, O Lord
: even as our hope is in you.
