Psalms 33:4
2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
