Psalm 33

Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous; *

it is fitting for the just to be thankful.

Praise the Lord with the harp; *

sing praises unto him with the ten-stringed lute.

Sing unto him a new song; *

make skillful melody and cry aloud with joy.

For the word of the Lord is true, *

and all his works are faithful.

He loves righteousness and true judgment; *

the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

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

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

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

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

Let all the earth fear the Lord; *

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

For he spoke, and it was done; *

he commanded and it stood fast.

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.

The counsel of the Lord shall endure for ever, *

and the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
