Psalms 33

Praise to the Creator and Preserver.

1 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones;

Praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright [in heart—those with moral integrity and godly character].

2 Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;

Sing praises to Him with the harp of ten strings.

3 Sing to Him a new song;

Play skillfully [on the strings] with a loud and joyful sound.
