Psalms 33

1 You who are godly, sing with joy to the Lord. It is right for honest people to praise him.

2 Praise the LORD with the harp. Make music to him on the lyre that has ten strings.

3 Sing a new song to him. Play with skill, and shout with joy.

4 What the LORD says is right and true. He is faithful in everything he does.

5 The LORD loves what is right and fair. The earth is full of his faithful love.

6 The heavens were made when the LORD commanded it to happen. All of the stars were created by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathers the waters of the sea together. He puts the oceans in their places.

8 Let the whole earth have respect for the Lord. Let all of the people in the world honor him.

9 He spoke, and the world came into being. He commanded, and it stood firm.

10 The LORD blocks the sinful plans of the nations. He keeps them from doing what they want to do.

11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever. What he wants to do will last for all time.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Blessed are the people he chose to be his own.

13 From heaven the LORD looks down and sees everyone.

14 From his throne he watches all those who live on the earth.

15 He creates the hearts of all people. He is aware of everything they do.

16 A king isn't saved just because his army is big. A soldier doesn't escape just because he is very strong.

17 People can't trust a horse to save them either. Though it is very strong, it can't save them.

18 But the LORD looks with favor on those who respect him. He watches over those who put their hope in his faithful love.

19 He watches over them to save them from death. He wants to keep them alive when there is no food in the land.

20 We wait in hope for the Lord. He helps us. He is like a shield that keeps us safe.

21 Our hearts are full of joy because of him. We trust in him, because he is holy.

22 Lord, may your faithful love rest on us. We put our hope in you.

Psalms 34

1 I will thank the LORD at all times. My lips will always praise him.

2 I will honor the Lord. Let those who are hurting hear and be joyful.

3 Join me in giving glory to the Lord. Let us honor him together.

4 I looked to the Lord, and he answered me. He saved me from everything I was afraid of.

5 Those who look to him beam with joy. They are never put to shame.

6 This poor man called out, and the LORD heard him. He saved him out of all of his troubles.

7 The angel of the LORD stands guard around those who have respect for him. And he saves them.

8 Taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who goes to him for safety.

9 You people of God, have respect for the Lord. Those who respect him have everything they need.

10 The lions may grow weak and hungry. But those who look to the LORD have every good thing they need.

11 My children, come. Listen to me. I will teach you to have respect for the Lord.

12 Do you love life and want to see many good days?

13 Then keep your tongues from speaking evil. Keep your lips from telling lies.

14 Turn away from evil, and do good. Look for peace, and go after it.

15 The LORD looks with favor on those who are godly. His ears are open to their cry.

16 The LORD doesn't look with favor on those who do evil. He removes all memory of them from the earth.

17 Godly people cry out, and the LORD hears them. He saves them from all of their troubles.

18 The LORD is close to those whose hearts have been broken. He saves those whose spirits have been crushed.

19 Anyone who does what is right may have many troubles. But the LORD saves him from all of them.

20 The LORD watches over all of his bones. Not one of them will be broken.

21 Sinners will be killed by their own evil. The enemies of godly people will be judged.

22 The LORD sets those who serve him free. No one who goes to him for safety will be judged.
