Psalm 33

Father, I rejoice in you and in your love for me. You are righteous, and by your grace, you have begun to work your righteousness into me and out of me. I praise you, as you renew my mind. I make melody with the skill you have given me. I sing to you a new song. I shout for joy.

Your word, oh Lord, is right. All your work is done in truth. You love righteousness and justice. The earth is full of your goodness, Father. You, oh Lord, bring the counsel of man to nothing. The foolish plans of the peoples have no effect on you. Your council, Father, is what matters, and your council stands forever.

Bring our nation back to you, Father, for a nation who worships you as almighty, sovereign God, is blessed. In you, Father, we have a sure and beautiful inheritance.

My soul waits on you, Lord. You are my help and my shield. My heart rejoices in you. I trust in you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and your loving kindness and tender mercy is upon me now and forever.
