A Praise Report

jahel said:

Psalm 33

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

13 Adonai looks down from heaven.
He observes all humanity.

14 From His dwelling place He gazes
on all the inhabitants of the earth—

15 He who fashions the hearts of all,
who discerns all their deeds.

16 No king is saved by his great army,
no warrior is delivered by great strength.

17 A horse is a false hope for victory,
nor can its great strength save.

18 Behold, the eyes of Adonai are on those who fear Him,
waiting for His love,

19 to deliver their souls from death,
and to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waits for Adonai—
He is our help and our shield.

21 Our heart rejoices in Him,
because we trusted in His holy Name.

22 Let Your lovingkindness, Adonai,
be upon us, as we have waited for You.
