Psalm 33:1-9

New Living Translation

Psalm 33

¹Let the godly sing for joy to the Lord;
    it is fitting for the pure to praise him.
²Praise the Lord with melodies on the lyre;
    make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.
³Sing a new song of praise to him;
    play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy.
⁴For the word of the Lord holds true,
    and we can trust everything he does.
⁵He loves whatever is just and good;
    the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.

⁶The Lord merely spoke,
    and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
    and all the stars were born.
⁷He assigned the sea its boundaries
    and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.
⁸Let the whole world fear the Lord,
    and let everyone stand in awe of him.
⁹For when he spoke, the world began!
    It appeared at his command.
