Psalm 33:4
For the LORD’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
2Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
4For the LORD’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
6By the LORD’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.
Notice
The word “all” leaves no part of God’s work outside his faithfulness, a sweeping claim when some of his work remains hard to understand.
