Psalm 33

The Message Bible MSG

1 Good people, cheer God! Right-living people sound best when praising.

2 Use guitars to reinforce your Hallelujahs! Play his praise on a grand piano!

3 Invent your own new song to him; give him a trumpet fanfare.

4 For God's Word is solid to the core; everything he makes is sound inside and out.

5 He loves it when everything fits, when his world is in plumb-line true. Earth is drenched in God's affectionate satisfaction.

6 The skies were made by God's command; he breathed the word and the stars popped out.

7 He scooped Sea into his jug, put Ocean in his keg.

8 Earth-creatures, bow before God; world-dwellers - down on your knees!

9 Here's why: he spoke and there it was, in place the moment he said so.

10 God takes the wind out of Babel pretense, he shoots down the world's power-schemes.

11 God's plan for the world stands up, all his designs are made to last.

12 Blessed is the country with God for God; blessed are the people he's put in his will.

13 From high in the skies God looks around, he sees all Adam's brood.

14 From where he sits he overlooks all us earth-dwellers.

15 He has shaped each person in turn; now he watches everything we do.

16 No king succeeds with a big army alone, no warrior wins by brute strength.

17 Horsepower is not the answer; no one gets by on muscle alone.

18 Watch this: God's eye is on those who respect him, the ones who are looking for his love.

19 He's ready to come to their rescue in bad times; in lean times he keeps body and soul together.

20 We're depending on God; he's everything we need.

21 What's more, our hearts brim with joy since we've taken for our own his holy name.

22 Love us, God, with all you've got - that's what we're depending on.

New Living Translation NLT

1 Let the godly sing for joy to the LORD ; it is fitting for the pure to praise him.

2 Praise the LORD with melodies on the lyre; make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.

3 Sing a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy.

4 For the word of the LORD holds true, and we can trust everything he does.

5 He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the LORD fills the earth.

6 The LORD merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born.

7 He assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.

8 Let the whole world fear the LORD, and let everyone stand in awe of him.

9 For when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command.

10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes.

11 But the LORD ’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.

12 What joy for the nation whose God is the LORD, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.

13 The LORD looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race.

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

15 He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do.

16 The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.

17 Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory— for all its strength, it cannot save you.

18 But the LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love.

19 He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine.

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

21 In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.

22 Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone.
