Context of Psalms 33:5

3Sing a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy. 4For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything he does. He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth. 6The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born. 7He assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.
