Psalms 33:4-19

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

6By the 5word of the Lord the heavens were made, And 6by the breath of His mouth 7all their 8lights.7He gathers the 9waters of the sea together 10as a heap; He puts the depths in storehouses.8Let 11all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world 12stand in awe of Him.9For 13He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it 14stood firm.10The Lord 15nullifies the plan of nations; He frustrates the plans of peoples.11The 16plan of the Lord stands forever, The 17plans of His heart from generation to generation.12Blessed is the 18nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has 19chosen for His own inheritance.

13The Lord 20looks from heaven; He 21sees all the sons of mankind;14From 22His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth,15He who 23fashions 24the hearts of them all, He who 25understands all their works.16 26The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not rescued by great strength.17A 27horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it rescue anyone by its great strength.

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