Psalm 33

The Greatness and Goodness of God

Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous.
    Praise befits the upright.(A)
Praise the Lord with the lyre;
    make melody to him with the harp of ten strings.(B)
Sing to him a new song;
    play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.(C)

For the word of the Lord is upright,
    and all his work is done in faithfulness.(D)
He loves righteousness and justice;
    the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.(E)

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made
    and all their host by the breath of his mouth.(F)
He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;
    he put the deeps in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the Lord;
    let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him,(G)
for he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded, and it stood firm.(H)
