Psalms 33:3-19

³Sing unto him a new song; play beautifully amidst a triumphant shout.

⁴For the word of the Lord is upright; and all his works are done in truth.

⁵He loveth righteousness and justice: the earth is full of the kindness of the Lord.

⁶By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and by the breath of his mouth all their host.

⁷He gathereth together like heaps the waters of the sea: he layeth up in store-houses the depths of the sea.

⁸Let all the earth fear the Lord: of him stand in awe all the inhabitants of the world.

⁹For he spoke, and it came into being: he commanded, and it stood fast.

¹⁰The Lord frustrateth the resolves of the nations: he bringeth to nought the thoughts of the people.

¹¹The counsel of the Lord will stand for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

¹²Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he hath chosen for himself as a heritage.

¹³The Lord looketh from heaven; he seeth all the sons of men.

¹⁴From the place of his habitation he directeth his view upon all the inhabitants of the earth;

¹⁵He fashioneth their hearts altogether; he hath regard to all their works.

¹⁶The king is not saved by the multitude of an army: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

¹⁷Vain is the horse for victory: nor shall he deliver any by the greatness of his strength.

¹⁸Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those that fear him, upon those that hope for his kindness.

¹⁹To deliver from death their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
