Psalm 33
NLT Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationNew International Version
1Let the godly sing for joy to the LORD; it is fitting for the pure to praise him.1Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2Praise the LORD with melodies on the lyre; make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.2Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3Sing a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy.3Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4For the word of the LORD holds true, and we can trust everything he does.4For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
5He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the LORD fills the earth.5The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6The LORD merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born.6By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7He assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.7He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses.
8Let the whole world fear the LORD, and let everyone stand in awe of him.8Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him.
9For when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command.9For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
10The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes.10The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11But the LORD’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.11But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12What joy for the nation whose God is the LORD, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.
13The LORD looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race.13From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;
14From his throne he observes all who live on the earth.14from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth--
15He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do.15he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
16The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.16No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory— for all its strength, it cannot save you.17A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18But the LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love.18But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine.19to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield.20We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
21In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.21In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
22Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone.22May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
