Psalms 33:1–9
The Lord is to be praised with new and skillful songs because His upright Word created the heavens and governs the earth in justice and love.
1 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
4 For Yahweh’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.
6 By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
The Lord is to be praised with new and skillful songs because His upright Word created the heavens and governs the earth in justice and love.
To summon the righteous to skillful and joyous worship based on the integrity of God’s character and His sovereign power as the Creator of the universe through His Word.
Rejoicing in the LORD's Creative Word and Covenant Care
The righteous rejoice and wait in hope because the LORD's faithful word creates, governs, sees, frustrates human pride, and delivers those who fear Him.
