he puts the oceans
33:8 Let the whole earth fear
Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him!

33:11 The Lord’s decisions stand forever;
his plans abide throughout the ages.
33:12 How blessed
the people whom he has chosen to be his special possession.
33:13 The Lord watches
he sees all people.

33:21 For our hearts rejoice in him,
for we trust in his holy name.
33:22 May we experience your faithfulness, O Lord,
for
