Psalm 33:1-12: Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; praise is fitting for the upright.
Praise the Lord with the lyre; make music for God with a ten-stringed harp
Sing for the Lord a new song; play your instrument skillfully with joyful sounds.
For your word, O Lord, is right, and faithful are all your works.
You love righteousness and justice; your steadfast love fills the whole earth.
By your word were the heavens made, by the breath of your mouth all the hosts of heaven.
You gather up the waters of the ocean as in a water-skin and store up the depths of the sea.
Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all who dwell in the world stand in awe.
For God spoke, and it came to pass; God commanded, and it stood fast.
The Lord brings the will of the nations to nothing and thwarts the designs of the peoples.
Your will, O Lord, stands fast forever, and the designs of your heart from age to age.
Happy is the people whose God is the Lord! Happy the people chosen to be God’s heritage.
