33:1 You godly ones, shout for joy because of the Lord! It is appropriate for the morally upright to offer him praise. 33:2 Give thanks to the Lord with the harp. Sing to him to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument. 33:3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully as you shout out your praises to him. 33:4 For the Lord’s decrees are just, and everything he does is fair. 33:5 He promotes equity and justice; the Lord’s faithfulness extends throughout the earth. 33:6 By the Lord’s decree the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all the starry hosts. 33:7 He piles up the water of the sea; he puts the oceans in storehouses. 33:8 Let the whole earth fear the Lord. Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him. 33:9 For he spoke, and it came into existence. He issued the decree, and it stood firm. 33:10 The Lord frustrates the decisions of the nations; he nullifies the plans of the peoples. 33:11 The Lord’s decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages. 33:12 How blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen to be his special possession. 33:13 The Lord watches from heaven; he sees all people. 33:14 From the place where he lives he looks carefully at all the earth’s inhabitants. 33:15 He is the one who forms every human heart, and takes note of all their actions. 33:16 No king is delivered by his vast army; a warrior is not saved by his great might. 33:17 A horse disappoints those who trust in it for victory; despite its great strength, it cannot deliver. 33:18 Look, the Lord takes notice of his loyal followers, those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness 33:19 by saving their lives from death and sustaining them during times of famine. 33:20 We wait for the Lord; he is our deliverer and shield. 33:21 For our hearts rejoice in him, for we trust in his holy name. 33:22 May we experience your faithfulness, O Lord, for we wait for you.
33:22 By David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, causing the king to send him away.
