in charge

Here's some selected verses from Psalm 33, ones that stood out to me this morning...



Psalm 33:1 Let the godly sing for joy to the LORD;

  it is fitting for the pure to praise him.


4 For the word of the LORD holds true,

  and we can trust everything he does.


5 He loves whatever is just and good;

  the unfailing love of the LORD fills the earth.



6 The LORD merely spoke,

  and the heavens were created.

He breathed the word,

  and all the stars were born.




10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations

  and thwarts all their schemes.


11 But the LORD's plans stand firm forever;

  his intentions can never be shaken.



13 The LORD looks down from heaven

  and sees the whole human race.


14 From his throne he observes

  all who live on the earth.


15 He made their hearts,

  so he understands everything they do.




18 But the LORD watches over those who fear him,

  those who rely on his unfailing love.


19 He rescues them from death

  and keeps them alive in times of famine.



20 We put our hope in the LORD.

  He is our help and our shield.


21 In him our hearts rejoice,

  for we trust in his holy name.


22 Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD,

  for our hope is in you alone.
