Psalm 33

New Revised Standard NRS

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 skillfully 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 forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage.

13 The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees all humankind.

14 From where he sits enthroned he watches all the inhabitants of the earth—

15 he who fashions the hearts of them all, and observes all their deeds.

16 A king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.

17 The war horse is a vain hope for victory, and by its great might it cannot save.

18 Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,

19 to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and shield.

21 Our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.

22 Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.

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.
