Song of Praise

33 Sing for joy in the Lord, you who are right with Him. It is right for the pure in heart to praise Him. Give thanks to the Lord with harps. Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song. Play well with loud sounds of joy. For the Word of the Lord is right. He is faithful in all He does. He loves what is right and good and what is fair. The earth is full of the loving-kindness of the Lord.

The heavens were made by the Word of the Lord. All the stars were made by the breath of His mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea together as in a bag. He places the waters in store-houses. Let all the earth fear the Lord. Let all the people of the world honor Him. For He spoke, and it was done. He spoke with strong words, and it stood strong. 10 The Lord brings the plans of nations to nothing. He wrecks the plans of the people. 11 The plans of the Lord stand forever. The plans of His heart stand through the future of all people. 12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord. Happy are the people He has chosen for His own.

13 The Lord looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men. 14 From where He sits He looks upon all who live on the earth. 15 He made the hearts of them all. And He understands whatever they do. 16 No king is saved by the power of his strong army. A soldier is not saved by great strength. 17 A horse cannot be trusted to win a battle. Its great strength cannot save anyone.

18 See, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, and on those who hope for His loving-kindness, 19 to save their soul from death, and to keep them alive when there is nothing to eat. 20 Our soul waits for the Lord. He is our help and our safe cover. 21 For our heart is full of joy in Him, because we trust in His holy name. 22 O Lord, let Your loving-kindness be upon us as we put our hope in You.

The Sovereignty of the Lord in Creation and History

33 Rejoice (A)in the Lord, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.
Praise the Lord with the harp;
[a]Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

For the word of the Lord is right,
And all His work is done in truth.
He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

(B)By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the (C)host of them (D)by the breath of His mouth.
(E)He gathers the waters of the sea together [b]as a heap;
He lays up the deep in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For (F)He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.

10 (G)The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11 (H)The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has (I)chosen as His own inheritance.

13 (J)The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He fashions their hearts individually;
(K)He [c]considers all their works.

16 (L)No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 (M)A horse is a [d]vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.

18 (N)Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death,
And (O)to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.

O júbilo do crente na contemplação das obras de Deus

33 Regozijai-vos no Senhor, vós, justos, pois aos retos convém o louvor. Louvai ao Senhor com harpa, cantai a ele com saltério de dez cordas. Cantai-lhe um cântico novo; tocai bem e com júbilo. Porque a palavra do Senhor é reta, e todas as suas obras são fiéis. Ele ama a justiça e o juízo; a terra está cheia da bondade do Senhor.

Pela palavra do Senhor foram feitos os céus; e todo o exército deles, pelo espírito da sua boca. Ele ajunta as águas do mar como num montão; põe os abismos em tesouros. Tema toda a terra ao Senhor; temam-no todos os moradores do mundo. Porque falou, e tudo se fez; mandou, e logo tudo apareceu.

10 O Senhor desfaz o conselho das nações; quebranta os intentos dos povos. 11 O conselho do Senhor permanece para sempre; os intentos do seu coração, de geração em geração. 12 Bem-aventurada é a nação cujo Deus é o Senhor, e o povo que ele escolheu para a sua herança.

13 O Senhor olha desde os céus e está vendo a todos os filhos dos homens; 14 da sua morada contempla todos os moradores da terra. 15 Ele é que forma o coração de todos eles, que contempla todas as suas obras. 16 Não há rei que se salve com a grandeza de um exército, nem o homem valente se livra pela muita força. 17 O cavalo é vão para a segurança; não livra ninguém com a sua grande força.

18 Eis que os olhos do Senhor estão sobre os que o temem, sobre os que esperam na sua misericórdia, 19 para livrar a sua alma da morte e para os conservar vivos na fome.

20 A nossa alma espera no Senhor; ele é o nosso auxílio e o nosso escudo. 21 Pois nele se alegra o nosso coração, porquanto temos confiado no seu santo nome. 22 Seja a tua misericórdia, Senhor, sobre nós, como em ti esperamos.
