Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 33

Sing with joy to the Lord, you who love Him!

Let songs of praise rise from grateful hearts.

Celebrate Him with music and melody,
for His word is true, and His love never fails.

The Lord’s kindness fills the earth,
and by His voice the heavens were made.

He breathed, and the stars shone in their places;
He spoke, and the seas were gathered,
the land stood firm at His command.

Let all people stand in awe before Him,
for when He speaks, all things come to be.

His plans stand firm forever,
His purpose remains throughout all time.

Blessed is the people who trust in the Lord,
whose hearts are set on His love.

For He does not take pleasure in strength or power,
nor in the might of armies,
but in those who seek Him with humble hearts.

The Lord watches over those who trust in His love,
who place their hope in His mercy.

He rescues them from trouble,
He sustains them in times of need.

We wait in hope for You, O Lord!

You are our help and our shield.

Our hearts rejoice in You,
for we trust in Your holy name.

Let Your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord,
as we place our hope in You.
