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 Yahweh for His Character and Creation
1Exult in Yahweh, O you righteous,
for praise is fitting for the upright.
2Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre;
with a harp of ten strings play to him.
3Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully with jubilant shout.
4For the word of Yahweh is upright,
and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5He loves righteousness and justice.
The earth is full of the loyal love of Yahweh.
6By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made,
and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
7He gathered the waters of the sea like a heap.
He put the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear Yahweh.
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9For he himself spoke#Literally “he, he spoke” and it came to pass.
He himself commanded#Literally “He, he commanded” and it stood firm.
10Yahweh brings to nothing#Or “breaks” the plan of nations;
he frustrates#Or “nullifies” the intents of peoples.
11The plan of Yahweh stands firm forever,
the intents of his heart from one generation to the next.#Literally “to a generation and a generation”
12Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh,
the people he has chosen for his inheritance.
13From heaven Yahweh looks;
he sees all the children of humankind.
14From his dwelling place#Or “the place where he sits enthroned” he gazes
on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15he who fashions altogether their heart,
he who understands all their works.
16The king is not saved by the greatness of an army.
The warrior is not delivered by the greatness of strength.
17The horse is a false hope for victory,
nor can it save by the greatness of its power.
18Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him,
on those who hope#Or “wait expectantly” for his loyal love
19to deliver their soul from death
and to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for Yahweh;
he is our help and our shield.
21For in him our heart rejoices
because in his holy name we trust.
22Let your loyal love, O Yahweh, be upon us,
even as#Literally “as which” we hope in you.
