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!

The Sovereignty of the Lord in Creation and History
1Rejoice #Ps. 32:11; 97:12; Phil. 3:1; 4:4in the Lord, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.
2Praise the Lord with the harp;
Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4For the word of the Lord is right,
And all His work is done in truth.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6#Gen. 1:6, 7; Ps. 148:5; (Heb. 11:3; 2 Pet. 3:5)By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the #Gen. 2:1host of them #(Job 26:13)by the breath of His mouth.
7#Gen. 1:9; Job 26:10; 38:8He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He lays up the deep in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9For #Gen. 1:3; Ps. 148:5He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
10#(Ps. 2:1–3); Is. 8:10; 19:3The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11#(Job 23:13; Prov. 19:21)The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has #(Ex. 19:5; Deut. 7:6); Ps. 28:9chosen as His own inheritance.
13#Job 28:24; (Ps. 14:2)The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
14From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15He fashions their hearts individually;
#(2 Chr. 16:9); Job 34:21; (Jer. 32:19)He considers all their works.
16#Ps. 44:6; 60:11; (Jer. 9:23, 24)No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17#(Ps. 20:7; 147:10; Prov. 21:31)A horse is a vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
18#(Job 36:7); Ps. 32:8; 34:15; (1 Pet. 3:12)Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
19To deliver their soul from death,
And #Job 5:20; Ps. 37:19to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
22Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.
