Psalm 33: 12-22

March 28, 2024 12:01 AM


12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,     the people he chose for his inheritance. 13 From heaven the Lord looks down     and sees all mankind; 14 from his dwelling place he watches     all who live on earth— 15 he who forms the hearts of all,     who considers everything they do.


16 No king is saved by the size of his army;     no warrior escapes by his great strength. 17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;     despite all its great strength it cannot save. 18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,     on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, 19 to deliver them from death     and keep them alive in famine.


20 We wait in hope for the Lord;     he is our help and our shield. 21 In him our hearts rejoice,     for we trust in his holy name. 22 May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,     even as we put our hope in you.
