Psalm 33

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ By the ^(K)word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And ^(L)by the breath of His mouth ^(M)all their host.
⁷ He gathers the ^(N)waters of the sea together ^[a]as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
⁸ Let ^(O)all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world ^(P)stand in awe of Him.
⁹ For ^(Q)He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it ^[b]stood fast.
¹⁰ The Lord ^(R)nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
¹¹ The ^(S)counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The ^(T)plans of His heart from generation to generation.
¹² Blessed is the ^(U)nation whose God is the Lord,
The people whom He has ^(V)chosen for His own inheritance.

¹³ The Lord ^(W)looks from heaven;
He ^(X)sees all the sons of men;
¹⁴ From ^(Y)His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
¹⁵ He who ^(Z)fashions ^[c]the hearts of them all,
He who ^(AA)understands all their works.
^16 (AB)The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
¹⁷ A ^(AC)horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.

¹⁸ Behold, ^(AD)the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who ^[d](AE)hope for His lovingkindness,
¹⁹ To ^(AF)deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive ^(AG)in famine.
²⁰ Our soul ^(AH)waits for the Lord;
He is our ^(AI)help and our shield.
²¹ For our ^(AJ)heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
²² Let Your lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us,
According as we have ^[e]hoped in You.
