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!

1Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.
2Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,
3Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.
4For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
5Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.
6By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
7Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.
8Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.
9For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.
10 Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
11The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.
12O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.
13From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.
14From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;
15Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.
16The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
17A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.
18Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
19To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,
21For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
22Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
