Psalm 33 or
Coverdale
Exultate, justi
1Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous;
it is good for the just to sing praises.
2Praise the LORD with the harp;
play to him upon the psaltery and lyre.
3Sing for him a new song;
sound a fanfare with all your skill upon the trumpet.
4For the word of the LORD is right,
and all his works are sure.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
the loving-kindness of the LORD fills the whole earth.
6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made,
by the breath of his mouth all the heavenly hosts.
7He gathers up the waters of the ocean as in a water-skin
and stores up the depths of the sea.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD;
let all who dwell in the world stand in awe of him.
9For he spoke, and it came to pass;
he commanded, and it stood fast.
10The LORD brings the will of the nations to naught;
he thwarts the designs of the peoples.
11But the LORD'S will stands fast for ever,
and the designs of his heart from age to age.
12Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD!
happy the people he has chosen to be his own!
13The LORD looks down from heaven,
and beholds all the people in the world.
14From where he sits enthroned he turns his gaze
on all who dwell on the earth.
15He fashions all the hearts of them
and understands all their works.
16There is no king that can be saved by a mighty army;
a strong man is not delivered by his great strength.
17The horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
for all its strength it cannot save.
18Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear him,
on those who wait upon his love,
19To pluck their lives from death,
and to feed them in time of famine.
20Our soul waits for the LORD;
he is our help and our shield.
21Indeed, our heart rejoices in him,
for in his holy Name we put our trust.
22Let your loving-kindness, O LORD, be upon us,
as we have put our trust in you.
