Read the chapter

1Sing for joy in the Lord, you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright. ✦ 2Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings. ✦ 3Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. ✦ 4For the word of the Lord is right, And all His work is done in faithfulness. ✦ 5He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. ✦ 6¶By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their lights. ✦ 7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He puts the depths in storehouses. ✦ 8Let all the earth fear the Lord; 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. ✦ 10The Lord nullifies the plan of nations; He frustrates the plans of peoples. ✦ 11The plan of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation. ✦ 12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen for His own inheritance. ✦ 13¶The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of mankind; ✦ 14From His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth, ✦ 15He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works. ✦ 16The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not rescued by great strength. ✦ 17A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it rescue anyone by its great strength. ✦ 18¶Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who wait for His faithfulness, ✦ 19To rescue their soul from death And to keep them alive in famine. ✦ 20Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. ✦ 21For our heart rejoices in Him, Because we trust in His holy name. ✦ 22Let Your favor, Lord, be upon us, Just as we have waited for 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.
