Psalms 33

1 All you who are righteous, shout joyfully to the LORD! It's right for those who do right to praise God.

2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre! Sing praises to him with the ten-stringed harp!

3 Sing to him a new song! Play your best with joyful shouts!

4 Because the LORD's word is right, his every act is done in good faith.

5 He loves righteousness and justice; the LORD's faithful love fills the whole earth.

6 The skies were made by the LORD's word, all their starry multitude by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathered the ocean waters into a heap; he put the deep seas into storerooms.

8 All the earth honors the LORD; all the earth's inhabitants stand in awe of him.

9 Because when he spoke, it happened! When he commanded, there it was!

10 The LORD overrules what the nations plan; he frustrates what the peoples intend to do.

11 But the LORD's plan stands forever; what he intends to do lasts from one generation to the next.

12 The nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom God has chosen as his possession, is truly happy!

13 The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees every human being.

14 From his dwelling place God observes all who live on earth.

15 God is the one who made all their hearts, the one who knows everything they do.

16 Kings aren't saved by the strength of their armies; warriors aren't rescued by how much power they have.

17 A warhorse is a bad bet for victory; it can't save despite its great strength.

18 But look here: the LORD's eyes watch all who honor him, all who wait for his faithful love,

19 to deliver their lives from death and keep them alive during a famine.

20 We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield.

21 Our heart rejoices in God because we trust his holy name.

22 LORD, let your faithful love surround us because we wait for you.

Psalms 34

1 I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise will always be in my mouth.

2 I praise the LORD— let the suffering listen and rejoice.

3 Magnify the LORD with me! Together let us lift his name up high!

4 I sought the LORD and he answered me. He delivered me from all my fears.

5 Those who look to God will shine; their faces are never ashamed.

6 This suffering person cried out: the LORD listened and saved him from every trouble.

7 On every side, the LORD's messenger protects those who honor God; and he delivers them.

8 Taste and see how good the LORD is! The one who takes refuge in him is truly happy!

9 You who are the LORD's holy ones, honor him, because those who honor him don't lack a thing.

10 Even strong young lions go without and get hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

11 Come, children, listen to me. Let me teach you how to honor the LORD:

12 Do you love life; do you relish the chance to enjoy good things?

13 Then you must keep your tongue from evil and keep your lips from speaking lies!

14 Turn away from evil! Do good! Seek peace and go after it!

15 The LORD's eyes watch the righteous, his ears listen to their cries for help.

16 But the LORD's face is set against those who do evil, to eliminate even the memory of them from the earth.

17 When the righteous cry out, the LORD listens; he delivers them from all their troubles.

18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those whose spirits are crushed.

19 The righteous have many problems, but the LORD delivers them from every one.

20 He protects all their bones; not even one will be broken.

21 But just one problem will kill the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be held responsible.

22 The LORD saves his servants' lives; all those who take refuge in him won't be held responsible for anything.
