Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 33:19

To deliver their soul from death - To preserve their “lives,” - for so the word “soul” is to be understood here. The meaning is, to keep them alive. That is, God is their Protector; He guards and defends them when in danger.And to keep them alive in famine - In times of want. Compare Job 5:20. He can provide for them when the harvests fail. Famine was one of the evils to which the inhabitants of Palestine, and of Oriental countries generally, were particularly exposed, and it is often referred... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 33:20

Our soul waiteth for the Lord - This and the subsequent verses to the end of the psalm refer to the people of God, expressing their faith in him in view of the considerations suggested in the former part of the psalm. The language is expressive of the general character of piety. True piety leads people to wait on the Lord; to depend on Him; to look to His interposition in danger, sickness, poverty, want; to rely upon Him for all that is hoped for in this life, and for salvation in the life to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 33:16-17

Psalms 33:16-17. No king is saved by the multitude of a host But only by God’s providence, who disposeth of victory and success as he pleaseth, and that frequently to the weakest side. He instances in kings and mighty men, as the most uncontrollable persons in the world, and most confident of themselves. By which he strongly proves his general proposition of God’s powerful providence over all men. A horse is a vain thing for safety Though he be strong, Job 39:19, &c.; and fit for... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 33:18-19

Psalms 33:18-19. Behold the eye of the Lord, &c. Whosoever therefore would have safety must expect it only from the watchful eye and almighty hand of God. Is upon them that fear him These are the chief objects of his care and favour. Upon them that hope in his mercy That place their hope, and trust, and happiness, not in any creature, but only in God and in his mercy and blessings. To deliver their soul from death That is, their life, when he sees it to be expedient for them: for... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 33:20-22

Psalms 33:20-22. He is our help The help of his true Israel, to whom he hath made many promises and glorious discoveries of his goodness. For our heart shall rejoice in him Or, therefore it shall rejoice, for this seems to have been an inference, either from the foregoing or following sentence. read more

Donald C. Fleming

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 33:16

JEHOVAH A BETTER DEFENDER AND PROTECTOR THAN ANY EARTHLY POWER COULD POSSIBLY BE(This theme is developed in Psalms 33:16-19.)"There is no king saved by the multitude of a host:A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.""By the multitude of a host" (Psalms 33:16). This is another way of saying that no king is ever saved merely by the size of his army. Pharaoh, Sennacherib, Xerxes, Mohammed, Napoleon, Lord Ponchertrain, the Marquis De Montcalm, and countless other mighty generals illustrate... read more
