For the word of the Lord is right(A) and true;(B)
    he is faithful(C) in all he does.
The Lord loves righteousness and justice;(D)
    the earth is full of his unfailing love.(E)

By the word(F) of the Lord the heavens were made,(G)
    their starry host(H) by the breath of his mouth.
He gathers the waters(I) of the sea into jars[a];(J)
    he puts the deep into storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the Lord;(K)
    let all the people of the world(L) revere him.(M)
For he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded,(N) and it stood firm.

10 The Lord foils(O) the plans(P) of the nations;(Q)
    he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm(R) forever,
    the purposes(S) of his heart through all generations.

  1. Psalm 33:7 Or sea as into a heap

The Lord is truthful;
    he can be trusted.
He loves justice and fairness,
and he is kind to everyone
    everywhere on earth.

The Lord made the heavens
and everything in them
    by his word.
He scooped up the ocean
    and stored the water.
Everyone in this world
should worship and honor
    the Lord!
As soon as he spoke
    the world was created;
at his command,
    the earth was formed.

10 The Lord destroys the plans
and spoils the schemes
    of the nations.
11 But what the Lord has planned
will stand forever.
    His thoughts never change.
