Psalm 33 (Version 1, Part 1)

Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord,

This work belongs to you:

Sing of his name, his ways, his word,

How holy, just, and true!

His mercy and his righteousness

Let heaven and earth proclaim;

His works of nature and of grace

Reveal his wondrous name.

His wisdom and almighty word

The heavenly arches spread;

And by the Spirit of the Lord

Their shining hosts were made.

He bid the liquid waters flow

To their appointed deep;

The flowing seas their limits know,

And their own station keep.

Ye tenants of the spacious earth,

With fear before him stand;

He spake, and nature took its birth,

And rests on his command.

He scorns the angry nations' rage,

And breaks their vain designs;

His counsel stands thro' every age,

And in full glory shines.
