Psalms 33:1-12

1Sing for joy to Adonai, you righteous. Praise is fitting for the upright.

2Praise Adonai with the harp. Sing praises to Him with a ten string lyre.

3Sing to Him a new song! Play skillfully amid shouts of joy.

4For the word of Adonai is upright and all His work is done in faithfulness.

5He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the love of Adonai.

6By Adonai’s word were the heavens made, and all their host by the breath of His mouth.

7He gathers the waters of the sea together in a heap. He lays up deep waters in storehouses.

8Let all the earth fear Adonai. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

9For He spoke, and it came to be. He commanded, and it stood firm.

10Adonai foils the purpose of the nations. He thwarts the plans of the peoples.

11The plan of Adonai stands forever, the purposes of His heart from generation to generation.

12Blessed is the nation whose God is Adonai, the people He chose for His own inheritance.
