Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: praise comes from the upright.
2 Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap: he lays up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the world's inhabitants stand in awe of him.
9 For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to naught: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people he hath chosen for his inheritance.
13 The Lord looks from heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation, he looks upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashions their hearts alike; he considers all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

A Song Worth Singing
Music has a way of capturing the deepest emotions of the soul. Whether it’s a song of joy, sorrow, love, or struggle, melodies have the power to lift our spirits or weigh us down. Psalm 33 calls us to sing a new song—not one born out of fear, disappointment, or self-reliance, but one filled with trust and praise for a God whose faithfulness never wavers.
Life often gives us reasons to sing the old, familiar tune of doubt. Maybe you’ve been striving in your career, but the doors aren’t opening. Maybe broken relationships have left you, or you feel lost in the ever-changing world of expectations. Psalm 33 reminds us that God’s word, works, and love are trustworthy and unshakable.
Who Holds Your Future?
Verse 11 declares, “The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.” In a world where plans shift, people change, and cultures evolve, there is only one constant—God. Politics, the economy, or your past mistakes won't derail God's plans. His purpose for your life remains, even when you can’t see the way forward.
This truth echoes Romans 8:28: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.” No matter how unpredictable life feels, God orchestrates every detail. Your dreams, calling, and struggles are all in His capable hands.
Strength is Not in Numbers
Society teaches us that success comes from hustling harder, networking wider, and grinding longer. But Psalm 33:16-17 flips that mindset:
"There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. A horse is a vain thing for safety."
Your strength, connections, or resources won’t guarantee success—only God’s hand will. When God opens a door, no one can shut it. When you place your faith in Him instead of your ability, you’ll walk in a supernatural peace that the world can’t understand.
A Challenge for You
It’s easy to worship God when things go right. But can you trust Him when life feels uncertain? Can you sing a song of praise when your prayers seem unanswered?
This week, I challenge you to do three things:
- Sing a new song. Whether through worship music, prayer, or simply speaking words of faith, replace complaints with praise.
- Surrender your plans. Write down your biggest dreams and struggles. Then, pray, giving them entirely to God. Trust His timing.
- Walk in faith. Do something bold—apply for that job, reach out to that friend, or take a step toward your calling—knowing God is in control.
Are you ready to sing a new song of faith?
No matter what season you’re in, God is worthy of your trust. Sing your new song. Rest in His love. And watch Him do what only He can do.
"A life surrendered to God is a life positioned for miracles. Don’t hold back—trust, worship, and walk boldly in His plan for you." – Sherrie T.
