Read the chapter

1Let the godly sing for joy to the Lord; it is fitting for the pure to praise him. ✦ 2Praise the Lord with melodies on the lyre; make music for him on the ten-stringed harp. ✦ 3Sing a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy. ✦ 4For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything he does. ✦ 5He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth. ✦ 6The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born. ✦ 7He assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs. ✦ 8Let the whole world fear the Lord, and let everyone stand in awe of him. ✦ 9For when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command. ✦ 10The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes. ✦ 11But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken. ✦ 12What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance. ✦ 13The Lord looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race. ✦ 14From his throne he observes all who live on the earth. ✦ 15He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do. ✦ 16The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior. ✦ 17Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory— for all its strength, it cannot save you. ✦ 18But the Lord watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love. ✦ 19He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine. ✦ 20We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield. ✦ 21In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. ✦ 22Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone. ✦

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.
