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!

Play it well and sing it loud!
4The Lord’s word is true,
and he is faithful in everything he does.
5He loves goodness and justice.
The Lord’s faithful love fills the earth.
6The Lord spoke the command, and the world was made.
The breath from his mouth created everything in the heavens.
7He gathered together the water of the sea.
He put the ocean in its place.
8Everyone on earth should fear and respect the Lord.
All the people in the world should fear him,
9because when he speaks, things happen.
And if he says, “Stop!”—then it stops.#33:9 And if … stops Or “He gives the command, and it stands!” The word “stand” can mean “stand forever” or “stop.”
10The Lord can ruin every decision the nations make.
He can spoil all their plans.
11But the Lord’s decisions are good forever.
His plans are good for generation after generation.
12Great blessings belong to those who have the Lord as their God!
He chose them to be his own special people.
13The Lord looked down from heaven
and saw all the people.
14From his high throne he looked down
at all the people living on earth.
15He created every person’s mind,
and he knows what each one is doing.
16A king is not saved by the power of his army.
A soldier does not survive by his own great strength.
17Horses don’t really bring victory in war.
Their strength cannot help you escape.
18The Lord watches over his followers,
those who wait for him to show his faithful love.
19He saves them from death.
He gives them strength when they are hungry.
20So we will wait for the Lord.
He helps us and protects us.
21He makes us happy.
We trust his holy name.
22Lord, we worship you,
so show your great love for us.
