Psalm
33 Shout joyfully, you righteous ones, because of Jehovah.+
It is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2 Give thanks to Jehovah with the harp;
Sing praises* to him with a ten-stringed instrument.
3 Sing to him a new song;+
Play skillfully on the strings, along with shouts of joy.
4 For the word of Jehovah is upright,+
And everything he does is trustworthy.
5 He loves righteousness and justice.+
The earth is filled with Jehovah’s loyal love.+
6 By the word of Jehovah the heavens were made,+
7 He gathers the seawaters like a dam;+
He puts the surging waters in storehouses.
8 Let the whole earth fear Jehovah.+
Let the inhabitants of the productive land be in awe of him.
11 But the decisions* of Jehovah will stand forever;+
The thoughts of his heart are from generation to generation.
13 Jehovah looks down from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.+
14 From his place of residence,
He gazes on the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He is the one forming the hearts of all;
He examines all their works.+
18 Look! The eye of Jehovah watches over those fearing him,+
Those waiting for his loyal love,
19 To rescue them* from death
And to keep them alive during famine.+
20 We are* in expectation of Jehovah.
He is our helper and our shield.+
21 Our hearts rejoice in him,
For we trust in his holy name.+
