Psalms 33:4-19

4For the word of the Lord 1is upright, And all His work is done 2in faithfulness.5He 3loves righteousness and justice; The 4earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.

6By the 5word of the Lord the heavens were made, And 6by the breath of His mouth 7all their host.7He gathers the 8waters of the sea together 9as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses.8Let 10all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world 11stand in awe of Him.9For 12He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it 13stood fast.10The Lord 14nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.11The 15counsel of the Lord stands forever, The 16plans of His heart from generation to generation.12Blessed is the 17nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has 18chosen for His own inheritance.

13The Lord 19looks from heaven; He 20sees all the sons of men;14From 21His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth,15He who 22fashions 23the hearts of them all, He who 24understands all their works.16 25The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength.17A 26horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.

18Behold, 27the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who 28 29hope for His lovingkindness,19To 30deliver their soul from death And to keep them alive 31in famine.
