John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 33:11

Verse 11 11.The counsel of Jehovah. The prophet extols the infinite power of God in such a manner as that he may build up our faith in its greatness; for he does not here commend a counsel of God which is hidden in heaven, and which he would have us to honor and revere at a distance. But as the Lord everywhere in Scripture testifies that he loveth righteousness and truth; that he cares for the righteous and good; and that he is ever inclined to succor his servants when they are wrongfully... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:1-11

A call to praise God. The psalm is anonymous, and was composed apparently to celebrate some deliverance of the nation from heathen oppression, resulting from God's interposition and without war. Psalms 33:1-3 are a summons to praise God, the song to be accompanied with instrumental music. God is to be praised— I. AS THE GOD OF REVELATION . ( Psalms 33:4 , Psalms 33:5 .) 1 . His Word is upright, always fulfilling itself. 2 . All his conduct is faithful and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:1-22

As a simple psalm of praise and thanksgiving, intended for the service of the temple, it is well worthy of admiration, being "singularly bright, and replete with beautiful imagery" ('Speaker's Commentary'). Metrically, it consists of six strophes, the first and last containing three verses each, and the intermediate ones each four verses. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:1-22

Joy in God. In this section of the Commentary we aim at discovering the unity of the psalm, and of dealing with it accordingly, reserving the treatment of specific verses as separate texts, for another department. This psalm has neither title nor author's name appended thereto. It is manifestly an outburst of glad and gladdening song from some Old Testament believer, and is a glorious anticipation of Philippians 4:4 . It is refreshing to the spirit to find that in the olden times there... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:1-22

This is a hymn of praise to God, as at once the Almighty Creator and Ruler of the world, and the Protector of his chosen people. Psalms 33:12 may he regarded as the pivot on which the whole psalm turns. What was true ideally, and in part of Israel, is true in fact and perfectly of God's people. "Blessed"— I. BECAUSE THE LORD IS THEIR GOD . The prophets delight to mark the contrast between the gods of the heathen and Jehovah ( Deuteronomy 32:31 ; Psalms 86:8 ; Isaiah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:8

Let all the earth fear the Lord. The righteous alone have a right to "praise" God (see Psalms 33:1 ), but "all the earth"— i.e. all mankind—may be called upon to "fear" him. He is an object of awe and true "godly fear" to godly men; to the ungodly he is an object of terror and servile fear. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. Here again, as so often, the second hemistich merely echoes the first. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:8-11

From the exhortation in Psalms 33:1 , addressed to the righteous, to praise the Lord, the psalmist passes now to a second exhortation, addressed to all mankind, to fear the Lord. And as before in Psalms 33:4-7 , so now in veto. 9-11, he assigns reasons. God is to be feared read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:9

For he spake, and it was done ; rather, and it was ; the thing of which he spake at once existed. See the passage of Genesis which Longinus thought so striking an instance of the sublime, "And God said, Let there be light; and there was light" ( Genesis 1:8 ). He commanded, and it stood fast ; literally, and it stood . God's lightest word, once uttered, is a standing law, to which nature absolutely conforms, and man ought to conform (comp. Psalms 119:90 , Psalms 119:91 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:10

The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought ; literally, frustrates the counsel of the heathen , causes it to fail (see 2 Kings 6:8-12 ; Daniel 6:5-28 ). He maketh the devices of the people—rather, the peoples —of none effect. Another instance of the mere repetition of a thought in other words. read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:11

The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations ; or, the thoughts of his heart—the same word as in the latter clause of the preceding verse. The contrast is made as complete as possible. Human counsels and devices fail and come to nought, the Divine counsels and devices abide, stand fast, and remain firm for ever (comp. Proverbs 19:21 ; Isaiah 25:1 ; James 1:17 ). read more
