Read the chapter

1Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright. ✦ 2Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings. ✦ 3Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy! ✦ 4For Yahweh’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness. ✦ 5He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh. ✦ 6By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth. ✦ 7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses. ✦ 8Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. ✦ 9For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm. ✦ 10Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect. ✦ 11The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. ✦ 12Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance. ✦ 13Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men. ✦ 14From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, ✦ 15he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works. ✦ 16There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. ✦ 17A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power. ✦ 18Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness; ✦ 19to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine. ✦ 20Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield. ✦ 21For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. ✦ 22Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 33 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
