Psalm 33  Christian Standard Bible

⁴ For the word of the Lord is right,
and all his work is trustworthy.^(E)
5 He loves righteousness and justice;^(F)
the earth is full of the Lord’s unfailing love.^(G)

⁶ The heavens were made by the word of the Lord,^(H)
and all the stars, by the breath of his mouth.^(I)
7 He gathers the water of the sea into a heap;^[a]
he puts the depths into storehouses.^(J)
8 Let the whole earth fear the Lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.^(K)
9 For he spoke, and it came into being;
he commanded, and it came into existence.^(L)

¹⁰ The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations;
he thwarts the plans of the peoples.^(M)
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the plans of his heart from generation to generation.^(N)
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord—
the people he has chosen to be his own possession!^(O)

¹³ The Lord looks down from heaven;
he observes everyone.^(P)
14 He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth
from his dwelling place.^(Q)
15 He forms the hearts of them all;
he considers all their works.^(R)
16 A king is not saved by a large army;
a warrior will not be rescued by great strength.^(S)
17 The horse is a false hope for safety;
it provides no escape by its great power.^(T)

¹⁸ But look, the Lord keeps his eye on those who fear him—
those who depend on his faithful love^(U)
19 to rescue them from death
and to keep them alive in famine.^(V)

²⁰ We wait for the Lord;^(W)
he is our help and shield.^(X)
21 For our hearts rejoice in him^(Y)
because we trust in his holy name.^(Z)
22 May your faithful love rest on us, Lord,
for we put our hope in you.^(AA)
