Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord! –Psalm 33:12A (NRSVCE)
The Greatness and Goodness of God
May Your mercy Lord, be upon us;
As we put our hope in You! Psalm 33:22 (NABRE)Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous.
Praise befits the upright.
Praise the Lord with the lyre; Make melody to Him with the harp of ten strings. Sing to Him a
new song; Play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
For the Word of the Lord is upright and all His work is done in faithfulness.
He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
May Your mercy Lord be upon us;
As we put our hope in You! Psalm 33:22 (NABRE)By the Word of the Lord the heavens were made and all their host by the breath of His mouth.
He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle; He put the deeps in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For He spoke and it came to be; He commanded and it stood firm.
The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
The Counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.
Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom He has chosen as His heritage.
The Lord looks down from Heaven; He sees all humankind. From where He sits enthroned He
watches all the inhabitants of the earth — He who fashions the hearts of them all
and observes all their deeds.
A king is not saved by his great army; A warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
The war horse is a vain hope for victory and by its great might it cannot save.
May Your mercy Lord be upon us;
As we put our hope in You! Psalm 33:22 (NABRE)Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
on those who hope in His steadfast love,
to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine.
May Your mercy Lord be upon us;
As we put our hope in You! Psalm 33:22 (NABRE)Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and shield.
Our heart is glad in Him because we trust in His Holy Name!
Let Your steadfast love O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in You! –Psalm 33:1-22
Thanksgiving and Encouragement
I am grateful to God — whom I worship with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did; For God
did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather a spirit of power and of love
and of self-discipline.
Do not be ashamed then of the testimony about Our Lord — join with me in suffering for the
Gospel, relying on the power of God who saved us and called us with a Holy calling, not
according to our works but according to His own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us
in Christ Jesus before the ages began but it has now been revealed through the appearing of
Our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through
the Gospel. –2 Timothy 1:3A; 7-10
