Psalm 33-34

New International Version

⁴ For the word of the Lord is right^(H) and true;^(I)
    he is faithful^(J) in all he does.
⁵ The Lord loves righteousness and justice;^(K)
    the earth is full of his unfailing love.^(L)

⁶ By the word^(M) of the Lord the heavens were made,^(N)
    their starry host^(O) by the breath of his mouth.
⁷ He gathers the waters^(P) of the sea into jars^[a];^(Q)
    he puts the deep into storehouses.
⁸ Let all the earth fear the Lord;^(R)
    let all the people of the world^(S) revere him.^(T)
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded,^(U) and it stood firm.

¹⁰ The Lord foils^(V) the plans^(W) of the nations;^(X)
    he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
¹¹ But the plans of the Lord stand firm^(Y) forever,
    the purposes^(Z) of his heart through all generations.

¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,^(AA)
    the people he chose^(AB) for his inheritance.^(AC)
13 From heaven the Lord looks down^(AD)
    and sees all mankind;^(AE)
14 from his dwelling place^(AF) he watches
    all who live on earth—
¹⁵ he who forms^(AG) the hearts of all,
    who considers everything they do.^(AH)

¹⁶ No king is saved by the size of his army;^(AI)
    no warrior escapes by his great strength.
¹⁷ A horse^(AJ) is a vain hope for deliverance;
    despite all its great strength it cannot save.
¹⁸ But the eyes^(AK) of the Lord are on those who fear him,
    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,^(AL)
19 to deliver them from death^(AM)
    and keep them alive in famine.^(AN)

²⁰ We wait^(AO) in hope for the Lord;
    he is our help and our shield.
²¹ In him our hearts rejoice,^(AP)
    for we trust in his holy name.^(AQ)
22 May your unfailing love^(AR) be with us, Lord,
    even as we put our hope in you.

⁴ I sought the Lord,^(AY) and he answered me;
    he delivered^(AZ) me from all my fears.
⁵ Those who look to him are radiant;^(BA)
    their faces are never covered with shame.^(BB)
6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
    he saved him out of all his troubles.^(BC)
7 The angel of the Lord^(BD) encamps around those who fear him,
    and he delivers^(BE) them.

⁸ Taste and see that the Lord is good;^(BF)
    blessed is the one who takes refuge^(BG) in him.
⁹ Fear the Lord,^(BH) you his holy people,
    for those who fear him lack nothing.^(BI)
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.^(BJ)
11 Come, my children, listen^(BK) to me;
    I will teach you^(BL) the fear of the Lord.^(BM)
12 Whoever of you loves life^(BN)
    and desires to see many good days,
¹³ keep your tongue^(BO) from evil
    and your lips from telling lies.^(BP)
14 Turn from evil and do good;^(BQ)
    seek peace^(BR) and pursue it.

¹⁵ The eyes of the Lord^(BS) are on the righteous,^(BT)
    and his ears are attentive^(BU) to their cry;
¹⁶ but the face of the Lord is against^(BV) those who do evil,^(BW)
    to blot out their name^(BX) from the earth.

¹⁷ The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears^(BY) them;
    he delivers them from all their troubles.
¹⁸ The Lord is close^(BZ) to the brokenhearted^(CA)
    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

¹⁹ The righteous person may have many troubles,^(CB)
    but the Lord delivers him from them all;^(CC)
20 he protects all his bones,
    not one of them will be broken.^(CD)

²¹ Evil will slay the wicked;^(CE)
    the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
²² The Lord will rescue^(CF) his servants;
    no one who takes refuge^(CG) in him will be condemned.
