Psalms 33:1-9 ▼

1 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones; Praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright [in heart—those with moral integrity and godly character].

2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with the harp of ten strings.

3 Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully [on the strings] with a loud and joyful sound.

4 For the word of the LORD is right; And all His work is done in faithfulness.

5 He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.

6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, And all their host by the breath of His mouth.

7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as in a wineskin; He puts the deeps in storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear and worship the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
