Psalm 33: Sing joyfully to the LORD

Sing joyfully to the LORD.

It is good for the upright 

And righteous to praise him.

Praise him with music of harps and lyres;

Skillfully play, sing a new song,

Shout out with joy to the LORD.    

For the word of the LORD is right and true;

He’s faithful in all that he does.

The LORD loves justice and righteousness;

The earth it is full of his love.

By the word of the LORD, the heaven’s were made;

The stars by the breath of his mouth.

He gathers the watery depths in jars;

In storehouses puts the deep sea.

So let all earth fear the LORD;

Let all of the world, all its people revere him.

For when he spoke the world came to be;

At his command, the earth it stood firm,

At his command it stood firm.

The LORD sees the ways of nations great,

And he thwarts their purpose and plans.

But the plans of the LORD stand firm thro’ time,

Thro’all generations to come.

The nation whose God is the LORD

Is blest: his inheritance, chosen to serve him.

For he looks down seeing all mankind,

Watching their lives and forming their hearts,

Considers all that they do.

No king is saved by armies great,

No warrior escapes by his strength.

A horse is a vain hope; it cannot save,

Despite its great strength cannot save.

The eyes of the LORD are on those,

Who fear him and hope in a love that’s unfailing.

For he’ll deliver their lives from death,

In famine or strife, he will save their lives;

They who have hope in the LORD.

We wait, all our hope is in the LORD

For he is our shield and our guide.

Our hearts will rejoice in his holy name;

His love always resting on us.

Always resting on us,         

Always resting on us, 

We who hope in you.
