Read the chapter

1Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful. ✦ 2Praise the Lord with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument 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 truth. ✦ 5He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. ✦ 6By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. ✦ 7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep 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 fast. ✦ 10The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. ✦ 11The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations. ✦ 12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. ✦ 13The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. ✦ 14From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth; ✦ 15He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works. ✦ 16No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. ✦ 17A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength. ✦ 18Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, ✦ 19To deliver 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 shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name. ✦ 22Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, Just as we hope 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.
