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!

Praise to the Creator
(Psalms 148:1–14)
1Rejoice in the Lord, O righteous ones;
it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
2Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to Him with ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song;
play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4For the word of the Lord is upright,
and all His work is trustworthy.
5The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of His loving devotion.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
7He piles up the waters of the sea;
He puts the depths into storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the people of the world revere Him.
9For He spoke, and it came to be;
He commanded, and it stood firm.
10The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations;
He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
11The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the purposes of His heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
13The Lord looks down from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
14From His dwelling place He gazes
on all who inhabit the earth.
15He shapes the hearts of each;
He considers all their works.
16No king is saved by his vast army;
no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
17A horse is a vain hope for salvation;
even its great strength cannot save.
18Surely the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him,
on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
19to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21For our hearts rejoice in Him,
since we trust in His holy name.
22May Your loving devotion rest on us, O Lord,
as we put our hope in You.
