The Lord Provides

From Today's Morning Prayer: Psalm 33

Rejoice in the Lord, you just: it is good for the upright to praise him.

Proclaim the Lord on the lyre, play his song on the ten-stringed harp.

Sing a new song to the Lord, sing out your cries of triumph,

for the word of the Lord is truly just, and all his actions are faithful.

The Lord loves justice and right judgement; the earth is full of his loving kindness.

By the Lord’s word the heavens were made, and all their array by the breath of his mouth.

He gathered the seas as if in a bag, he stored up the depths in his treasury.



Let every land fear the Lord, let all the world be awed at his presence.

For he spoke, and they came into being; he commanded, and they were made.

The Lord confounds the counsel of the nations, throws the thoughts of the peoples into confusion.

But the Lord’s own counsel stands firm for ever, his thoughts last for all generations.



Happy the nation whose lord is God, the people he has chosen as his inheritance.

The Lord looks down from the heavens and sees all the children of men.

From his dwelling-place he looks upon all who inhabit the earth.

He moulded each one of their hearts, he understands all that they do.

"The Lord confounds the counsel of the nations, throws the thoughts of the peoples into confusion." If there ever was a time this is clearly seen, it is now.
