Salmos 33:4-5 NVT

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 33:4

The psalmist proceeds to give reasons why God is to be praised, and puts in the forefront this reason: For the word of the lord is right; i.e. the revealed will of God is exactly in accord with the eternal rule of right. We cannot imagine it otherwise, for God would contradict his own nature, if he ordained by a positive law anything contrary to that rule. But still we maybe thankful that there is no such contradiction—that "the Law is holy, just, and good" ( Romans 7:12 ). And all his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:5

He loveth righteousness and judgment . "Righteousness" is the essential principle of justice; "judgment," the carrying out of the principle in act. God loves both—a further ground for praising him. The earth is full of the goodness (or, loving - kindness ) of the Lord (comp. Psalms 119:64 ). The earth is full, not only of God's glory ( Isaiah 6:3 ) and of his riches ( Psalms 104:24 ), but also of his mercy, or loving-kindness ( חסד )—a ground of thankfulness that all will... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 33:4

For the word of the Lord is right - The command; the law; the promise of God. Whatever he “says” is right; or, is true. It is worthy of universal belief; and should, therefore, be a reason for praise. The fact that God says a thing is the highest proof that it is true.And all his works are done in truth - Or rather, “in faithfulness.” That is, All that he does is executed faithfully. He does all that he promises, and all that he does is such as to claim universal confidence. Whatever he does... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 33:4-5

Psalms 33:4-5. The word of the Lord is right All God’s counsels and commands, whether contained in the Scriptures, or given forth in his providence, for the government of the world, are wise, and just, and good, without deceit or defect. All his works are done in truth All his dispensations of providence agree with his word, and are no other than the accomplishment of his promises, or threatenings, or other declarations of his mind and will in his word; although sometimes, for a season,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 33:1-22

Psalms 33:0 Rejoicing in GodIsrael’s musicians and singers are called to unite in joyous praise to God (1-3). He is worthy of people’s praise because of his faithfulness, seen in all his righteous works (4-5); because of his power, seen in creation and in his irresistible word (6-9); and because of his sovereign control, seen in the history of world events (10-12). God, being perfect in knowledge, sees the uselessness of all those achievements in which people put their trust (13-17).Above all,... read more
