Texts -- Psalms 33:1-10 (NET)

Context
Psalm 33
33:1 You godly ones , shout for joy because of the Lord ! It is appropriate for the morally upright to offer him praise . 33:2 Give thanks to the Lord with the harp ! Sing to him to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument ! 33:3 Sing to him a new song ! Play skillfully as you shout out your praises to him! 33:4 For the Lord’s decrees are just , and everything he does is fair . 33:5 The Lord promotes equity and justice ; the Lord’s faithfulness extends throughout the earth . 33:6 By the Lord’s decree the heavens were made ; by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created . 33:7 He piles up the water of the sea ; he puts the oceans in storehouses . 33:8 Let the whole earth fear the Lord ! Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him! 33:9 For he spoke , and it came into existence , he issued the decree , and it stood firm. 33:10 The Lord frustrates the decisions of the nations ; he nullifies the plans of the peoples .
