Psalm 33 | Liturgical Calendar

1

Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous; *

it is fitting for the just to be thankful.

2

Praise the Lord with the harp; *

sing praises unto him with the ten-stringed lute.

3

Sing unto him a new song; *

make skillful melody and cry aloud with joy.

4

For the word of the Lord is true, *

and all his works are faithful.

5

He loves righteousness and true judgment; *

the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

6

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, *

and all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.

7

He gathers the waters of the sea together, as in a heap, *

and lays up the deep, as in a treasure house.

8

Let all the earth fear the Lord; *

stand in awe of him, all you that dwell in the world.

9

For he spoke, and it was done; *

he commanded and it stood fast.

10

The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to naught; *

he makes the devices of the peoples to be of no effect, and casts out the counsels of princes.

11

The counsel of the Lord shall endure for ever, *

and the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

12

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, *

and blessed are the people he has chosen for himself to be his inheritance.

13

The Lord looks down from heaven and beholds all the children of men; *

from the habitation of his dwelling he considers all those who dwell on the earth.

14

He fashions all the hearts of them *

and understands all their works.

15

There is no king who can be saved by a mighty host; *

neither is any mighty man delivered by great strength.

16

A horse is considered a vain hope to save a man; *

neither shall it deliver anyone by its great strength.

17

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear him, *

and upon those who put their trust in his mercy,

18

To deliver their soul from death, *

and to feed them in the time of famine.

19

Our soul has patiently waited for the Lord, *

for he is our help and our shield.

20

Our heart shall rejoice in him, *

because we have hoped in his holy Name.

21

Let your merciful kindness, O Lord, be upon us, *

as we have put our trust in you.
