Psalm 33


1    Rejoice in the Lord (The Word), O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

4    For the word of the Lord is right; and all HIS works are done in truth.

6    By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of HIS mouth.

8-11    Let all the earth fear the Lord (The Word): let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him (The Word).

For HE spake, and it was done; HE commanded, and it stood fast.


The Lord (The Word) bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: HE (The Word) maketh the devices of the people of none effect.


The counsel of the Lord (The Word) standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.


***

12    Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord (The Word); and the people whom HE hath chosen for HIS own inheritance.

(Our God is "The Word" ... John 1:1   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.)


***

Psalm 33:16-21    There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear Him  (The Word), upon them that hope in HIS mercy;

To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. 


Our soul waiteth for the Lord (The Word): 


HE (The Word) is our help and our shield.

For our heart shall rejoice in HIM (The Word), 

because we have trusted in HIS holy name (The Word).

 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in Thee (The Word).
