Psalm 33
Exultate, justi
12
Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord! *
happy the people he has chosen to be his own!
13
The Lord looks down from heaven, *
and beholds all the people in the world.
14
From where he sits enthroned he turns his gaze *
on all who dwell on the earth.
15
He fashions all the hearts of them *
and understands all their works.
16
There is no king that can be saved by a mighty army; *
a strong man is not delivered by his great strength.
17
The horse is a vain hope for deliverance; *
for all its strength it cannot save.
18
Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear him, *
on those who wait upon his love,
19
To pluck their lives from death, *
and to feed them in time of famine.
20
Our soul waits for the Lord; *
he is our help and our shield.
21
Indeed, our heart rejoices in him, *
for in his holy Name we put our trust.
22
Let your loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us, *
as we have put our trust in you.
