Psalms 33:3-12 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

3. A new song to him sing, and playwith loud noise skilfully;

4. For right is God's word, all his worksare done in verity.

5. To judgment and to righteousnessa love he beareth still;The loving-kindness of the Lordthe earth throughout doth fill.

6. The heavens by the word of Goddid their beginning take;And by the breathing of his mouthhe all their hosts did make.

7. The waters of the seas he bringstogether as an heap;And in storehouses, as it were,he layeth up the deep.

8. Let earth, and all that live therein,with rev'rence fear the Lord;Let all the world's inhabitantsdread him with one accord.

9. For he did speak the word, and doneit was without delay;Established it firmly stood,whatever he did say.

10. God doth the counsel bring to noughtwhich heathen folk do take;And what the people do deviseof none effect doth make.

11. O but the counsel of the Lorddoth stand for ever sure;And of his heart the purposesfrom age to age endure.

12. That nation blessed is, whose God JEHOVAH is, and thoseA blessed people are, whom forhis heritage he chose.
