Psalm 33

Exultate, justi

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 22 verses

  1. 1

    Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous; *
    it is good for the just to sing praises.

  2. 2

    Praise the LORD with the harp; *
    play to him upon the psaltery and lyre.

  3. 3

    Sing for him a new song; *
    sound a fanfare with all your skill upon the trumpet.

  4. 4

    For the word of the LORD is right, *
    and all his works are sure.

  5. 5

    He loves righteousness and justice; *
    the loving-kindness of the LORD fills the whole earth.

  6. 6

    By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, *
    by the breath of his mouth all the heavenly hosts.

  7. 7

    He gathers up the waters of the ocean as in a water-skin *
    and stores up the depths of the sea.

  8. 8

    Let all the earth fear the LORD; *
    let all who dwell in the world stand in awe of him.

  9. 9

    For he spoke, and it came to pass; *
    he commanded, and it stood fast.

  10. 10

    The LORD brings the will of the nations to naught; *
    he thwarts the designs of the peoples.

  11. 11

    But the LORD'S will stands fast for ever, *
    and the designs of his heart from age to age.

  12. 12

    Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD! *
    happy the people he has chosen to be his own!

  13. 13

    The LORD looks down from heaven, *
    and beholds all the people in the world.

  14. 14

    From where he sits enthroned he turns his gaze *
    on all who dwell on the earth.

  15. 15

    He fashions all the hearts of them *
    and understands all their works.

  16. 16

    There is no king that can be saved by a mighty army; *
    a strong man is not delivered by his great strength.

  17. 17

    The horse is a vain hope for deliverance; *
    for all its strength it cannot save.

  18. 18

    Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear him, *
    on those who wait upon his love,

  19. 19

    To pluck their lives from death, *
    and to feed them in time of famine.

  20. 20

    Our soul waits for the LORD; *
    he is our help and our shield.

  21. 21

    Indeed, our heart rejoices in him, *
    for in his holy Name we put our trust.

  22. 22

    Let your loving-kindness, O LORD, be upon us, *
    as we have put our trust in you.
