Psalms 33:10-15

Rejoicing in the LORD's Creative Word and Covenant Care

summons to righteous praise -> character of the LORD's word and works -> creation by word and breath -> nations judged under divine counsel -> humanity seen and hearts formed by God -> earthly power exposed as unable to save -> covenant people waiting for mercy

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.

11The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.

12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!

13The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.

14From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.

15He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
