Psalm 33
NET Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleEnglish Standard Version
1You godly ones, shout for joy because of the LORD! It is appropriate for the morally upright to offer him praise. 1Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright.
2Give thanks to the LORD with the harp! Sing to him to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument! 2Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!
3Sing to him a new song! Play skillfully as you shout out your praises to him! 3Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
4For the LORD's decrees are just, and everything he does is fair. 4For the word of the LORD is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5The LORD promotes equity and justice; the LORD's faithfulness extends throughout the earth. 5He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.
6By the LORD's decree the heavens were made; by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created. 6By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
7He piles up the water of the sea; he puts the oceans in storehouses. 7He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses.
8Let the whole earth fear the LORD! Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him! 8Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
9For he spoke, and it came into existence, he issued the decree, and it stood firm. 9For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
10The LORD frustrates the decisions of the nations; he nullifies the plans of the peoples. 10The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11The LORD's decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages. 11The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations.
12How blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen to be his special possession. 12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
13The LORD watches from heaven; he sees all people. 13The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man;
14From the place where he lives he looks carefully at all the earth's inhabitants. 14from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15He is the one who forms every human heart, and takes note of all their actions. 15he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds.
16No king is delivered by his vast army; a warrior is not saved by his great might. 16The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
17A horse disappoints those who trust in it for victory; despite its great strength, it cannot deliver. 17The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue.
18Look, the LORD takes notice of his loyal followers, those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness 18Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19by saving their lives from death and sustaining them during times of famine. 19that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.
20We wait for the LORD; he is our deliverer and shield. 20Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
21For our hearts rejoice in him, for we trust in his holy name. 21For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.
22May we experience your faithfulness, O LORD, for we wait for you. 22Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.
