Psalms 33
33
A Song of Praise
Poetic praise by King David # 33 Most manuscripts have no inscription for this psalm. However, ancient Qumran evidence suggests this is the original inscription that was later omitted.
1It’s time to sing and shout for joy!
Go ahead, all you redeemed ones, do it!
Praise him with all you have,
for praise looks lovely on the lips of God’s devoted lovers.
2Play the guitar as you lift your praises loaded with thanksgiving.
Sing and make joyous music with all you’ve got inside.
3Compose new melodies # 33:3 There are seven new songs mentioned in the Bible. Six are in the Psalms (33:3; 40:3; 96:1; 98:1; 144:9; 149:1) and one is in Isaiah (42:10). that release new praises to the Lord.
Play his praises on instruments
with the anointing and skill he gives you.
Sing and shout with passion; make a spectacular sound of joy—
4For God’s Word is something to sing about!
He is true to his promises, his word can be trusted,
and everything he does is reliable and right.
5The Lord loves seeing justice on the earth.
Anywhere and everywhere you can find his faithful, unfailing love!
6All he had to do was speak by his Spirit-Wind command,
and God created the heavenlies.
Filled with galaxies and stars,
the vast cosmos he wonderfully made.
7His voice scooped out the seas.
The ocean depths he poured into vast reservoirs.
8With breathtaking wonder,
let everyone worship Yahweh, this awe-inspiring Creator.
9He breathed words and worlds were birthed.
“Let there be,” and there it was—
springing forth the moment he spoke,
no sooner said than done!
10With his breath he scatters the schemes of nations who oppose him;
they will never succeed.
11His destiny-plan for the earth stands sure.
His forever-plan remains in place and will never fail.
12Blessed and prosperous is that nation who has God as their Lord!
They will be the people he has chosen for his own.
13-15The Lord looks over us from where he rules in heaven.
Gazing into every heart from his lofty dwelling place,
he observes all the peoples of the earth.
The Creator of our hearts considers and examines everything we do.
16Even if a king had the best-equipped army,
it would never be enough to save him.
Even if the best warrior went to battle,
he could not be saved simply by his strength alone.
17Human strength and the weapons of man
are false hopes for victory;
they may seem mighty, but they will always disappoint.
18The eyes of the Lord are upon
even the weakest worshipers who love him—
those who wait in hope and expectation
for the strong, steady love of God.
19God will deliver them from death,
even the certain death of famine, with no one to help.
20The Lord alone is our radiant hope
and we trust in him with all our hearts.
His wraparound presence will strengthen us.
21As we trust, we rejoice with an uncontained joy
flowing from Yahweh!
22Let your love and steadfast kindness overshadow us continually,
for we trust and we wait upon you!

Psalm 33
1You who are godly, sing with joy to the Lord.
It is right for honest people to praise him.
2With the harp, praise the Lord.
With the lyre that has ten strings, make music to him.
3Sing a new song to him.
Play with skill, and shout with joy.
4What the Lord says is right and true.
He is faithful in everything he does.
5The Lord loves what is right and fair.
The earth is full of his faithful love.
6The heavens were made when the Lord commanded it to happen.
All the stars were created by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathers together the waters of the sea.
He puts the oceans in their places.
8Let the whole earth have respect for the Lord.
Let all the people in the world honor him.
9He spoke, and the world came into being.
He commanded, and it stood firm.
10The Lord blocks the sinful plans of the nations.
He keeps them from doing what they want to do.
11But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever.
What he wants to do will last for all time.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
Blessed are the people he chose to be his own.
13From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees everyone.
14From his throne he watches
all those who live on the earth.
15He creates the hearts of all people.
He is aware of everything they do.
16A king isn’t saved just because his army is big.
A soldier doesn’t escape just because he is very strong.
17People can’t trust a horse to save them either.
Though it is very strong, it can’t save them.
18But the Lord looks with favor on those who respect him.
He watches over those who put their hope in his faithful love.
19He watches over them to save them from death.
He wants to keep them alive when there is no food in the land.
20We wait in hope for the Lord.
He helps us. He is like a shield that keeps us safe.
21Our hearts are full of joy because of him.
We trust in him, because he is holy.
22 Lord, may your faithful love be with us.
We put our hope in you.
