Psalm 33 Prayed
Praising
God for the world-changing gospel
We sing joyfully to you, Lord
Jesus,
for
you have made us righteous;
it
is fitting for us to praise you.
We will praise you Lord with
the piano;
make
music to you on the guitar.
We will sing to you a new song;
we
will play skilfully, and shout for joy.
O, let the word of Christ dwell
in us richly,
as
we sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs,
with gratitude in our hearts to
you, O God,
and
make music in our hearts to the you.
For your Word, O Lord, is right
and true;
you
are faithful in all you do.
Lord, you love righteousness
and justice;
the
earth is full of your unfailing love.
In the beginning was the Word,
and
the Word was with you, O God,
and
the Word was God.
Through him all things were
made;
without
him nothing was made
that
has been made.
And by the Word of the Lord
were
the heavens made,
their
starry host by the breath of his mouth.
You gather the waters of the
sea into jars;
you
put the deep into storehouses.
Let all the earth fear you, O
Lord Jesus;
let
all the people of the world revere you.
For you spoke, and it came to
be;
you
commanded, and it stood firm.
You foil the plans of the
nations, O Lord;
you
thwart the purposes of the peoples.
Your plans O Lord Jesus, stand
firm forever,
the
purposes of your heart through all
generations.
Great and marvellous are your
deeds,
Lord
God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
King
of the ages.
Who will not fear you, O Lord,
and
bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.
All
nations will come
and
worship before you,
for
your righteous acts have been revealed.
Blessed are those nations whose
God
is
the Lord Jesus,
the
peoples you chose for your inheritance.
Look down from heaven O Lord
Jesus,
and
see all mankind;
from your dwelling place watch
all
who live on earth—
You are he who forms the hearts
of all,
who
considers everything they do.
No politician is saved by the
size of his army;
no
army escapes by its great strength.
A tank is a vain hope for
deliverance;
despite
all its great strength it cannot save.
Let your eyes be on those who
fear you, O Lord,
on
those whose hope is in your unfailing love.
Only you can deliver us from
death
and
keep us alive in famine.
You have promised, O Lord,
to
judge between the nations
and
settle disputes for many peoples.
Then they will beat their
swords into ploughshares
and
their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword
against nation,
nor
will they train for war anymore.
So we wait in hope for you, O
Lord Jesus;
you
are our help and our shield.
In you our hearts rejoice,
for
we trust in your holy name.
May your unfailing love rest
upon us, O Lord,
even
as we put our hope in you.
Raise up missionaries, send
them out,
bless
their labours and add great multitudes
to
your kingdom.
For a large population is a
king’s glory,
but
without subjects a prince is ruined.
