20 Our soul waiteth for
the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
Today’s ReadingPsalm
Chapter 33
By the word of
the Lord were the heavens made. . .
1 Rejoice in
the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the
upright.
2 Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him
with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud
noise.
4 For the word of the Lord is right;
and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is
full of the goodness of the Lord.
6 By the word of
the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the
breath of his mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an
heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the
inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done; he
commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Lord bringeth
the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of
none effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the
thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose
God is the Lord; and the people whom he
hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth
all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all
the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all
their works.
16 There is no king
saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much
strength.
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety:
neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon
them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19 to
deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for
the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have
trusted in his holy name.
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
