We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield

Psalm 33:1-22
The word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
The plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
From his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth.
No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.  A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, and keep them alive in famine.
We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
Turn up the instruments. Sing for joy and burst into song.
Look, hear, what God has done! Sing God's praises for who he is.
Worship the Creator and stand in awe of him.
Praise his sovereign rule in human affairs - his unfailing care for all who honour him.
Sing a song of trust in him.
Why?
God's word is right and true, for his word, his plan stand firm forever.
No one can escape from the eyes of the Lord, everyone has to face final judgement before the Lord.
Victory belongs to the Lord, God save those who fear him. Strength and power are belong to the Lord also.
Let wait for the Lord in hope for he is our help and our shield.
How?
Wait for the Lord in hope for he is our help and our shield. God will keep those who fear him alive in famine.
Everybody sing God's praise!
