Psalm 33:1-22 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
O you righteous, rejoice in the Lord: for praise is [beautiful] for the upright. Praise the Lord with [harps] & sing to Him with the [lyre] & [instruments with] 10 strings. Sing to Him, a new song. Play skillfully with a loud [sound.] |
For the Word of the Lord is right & all His works are done in Truth. [John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I Am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No man comes to the Father, [except] by Me.] |
He [loves] righteousness & judgment, [a.k.a. justice.] The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. The heavens were made by the Word of the Lord. And by the breath of His mouth, all the hosts, [a.k.a. stars of the heavens,] were made. |
[Genesis 1:16-17 And God made 2 great lights. The [larger] light to rule the day & the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. And God [put] them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.] |
He [gathers] the waters of the sea together [like] a heap. He lays up the [deep] in storehouses. [Genesis 1:9-10 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together [into] one place & let the dry land appear & it was so. And God called the dry land: Earth & the gathering together of the waters, He called: Seas. And God saw that it was good.] |
Let all the earth fear, [a.k.a. respect,] the Lord. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He [spoke] & it was done. He commanded & it stood [firmly secured.] |
[Genesis 1:1-3 In the beginning, God created the heaven & the earth. And the earth was without form & [empty.] And darkness was upon the [surface] of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the [surface] of the waters. And God said, Let there be light & there was light.] |
The Lord [brings] the counsel, [a.k.a. advice,] of the heathen to [nothing.] He [makes] the [wicked plots] of the people [ineffective.] The counsel of the Lord [stands] forever & the thoughts of His heart to all generations. [Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers & the flower fades, but the Word of our God, shall stand forever.] |
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord & the people whom He has chosen for His Own inheritance. The Lord [looks] from heaven & He [sees] all the sons of men. From the place of His habitation, He [looks] upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He [fashioned] their hearts [the same.] He considers all their works. |
A mighty man is not delivered by much strength & there is no king saved by the multitude of an [army.] [Jeremiah 9:23-24 The Lord [said this, Don't] let the wise man [boast] in his wisdom. Neither let the mighty man [boast] in his [strength.] [Don't] let the rich man [boast] in his riches. |
But let him [who boasts, boast] in this, that he understands & knows Me, that I Am the Lord, [Who delivers] loving kindness, [justice] & righteousness, in the earth. For I delight in these things, says the Lord.] |
[A] horse is a vain thing for safety. Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. [Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots & some [trust] in horses: but we will remember the Name of the Lord, our God.] |
[Look,] the eye of the Lord is upon [those who] fear [respect] Him & upon [those who] hope in His mercy; to deliver their soul from death & to keep them alive in famine. |
[Revelation 7:14-17 And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are [those who] came out of great tribulation & have washed their robes & made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, they are before the throne of God & serve Him day & night in His temple. |
And He, [Who] sits on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall no [longer] hunger, neither thirst anymore. Neither shall the sun, nor any heat [scorch] them. |
For the Lamb, [Who] is in the midst of the throne shall feed them & shall lead them to Living Fountains of waters & God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.] |
Our soul waits for the Lord. He is our help & our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His Holy Name. Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according [to our] hope in You. |
