Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 33:4-12

2). Grounds For Praising YHWH (4-12). a). Because of His moral activity (4-5). Psalms 33:4-5 ‘For the word of YHWH is right, And all his work is done in faithfulness. He loves righteousness and justice, The earth is full of the lovingkindness of YHWH.’ The first reason for praising God is because of what He is. The word of YHWH is right (or ‘upright’), He does nothing that will not help to fulfil His purposes of goodness and love; His work is done in faithfulness, so that He can be totally... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 33:1-22

XXXIII. A Song of Praise.— This Ps. has no title in MT. It may have been added at a later time to an older collection, probably Psalms 33:3-Song of Solomon :. The LXX prefix, “ By David, when he changed his face before Abimelech ( sic) and he loosed him and he went away.” The Ps. is an invitation to praise Yahweh as the Creator and for His care of Israel throughout its history. Yahweh alone can save His people, and for that salvation the Psalmist will wait. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 33:1-22

INTRODUCTION“This psalm is a fit companion, but by no means the second half, of the preceding one, being distinct from it both in matter and form. It indicates a more tranquil frame of mind, such as flows from the calm assurance of pence with God. There is nothing against its being of the time and from the pen of David. It consists of twenty-two verses, like the alphabetic psalms. It celebrates the praise of the God of providence and grace. It falls into two halves of eleven verses each.... read more

Psalms 33:2 . The psaltery, a little harp of sweet sound, and very generally used in unison with the voice. Psalms 33:6 . By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, as in Genesis 1:0. By the Word the christian fathers, Basil and Theodoret, understand Christ, the uncreated Word. This ever-living Word, as in all the Jewish Targums, is the glorious Person who inspired the prophets, reproved kings, and expostulated with Jonah: the Word of the Lord, made flesh for man. By the breath, ... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 33:1-22

Psalms 33:1-22Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous.The spirit of rejoicing: life adjusted to the will of God“Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous.” It is the vital condition of all spiritual rejoicing that we are right with God. Our life must be adjusted to His will, and the adjustment must be made on every side. If our communion with the Lord is only partial, we shall not reach the condition in which joy becomes inevitable. I remember that some time ago an electric bell apparatus in my home got... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 33:9

Psa 33:9 For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast. Ver. 9. For he spake, and it was done ] So true is that saying, Dei dicere est facere. For God to say is to do. And a great shame it is to men to disobey the great Creator; and not rather to follow the example of the unreasonable and insensible creatures. And it stood fast ] The whole order of nature remaineth as he set it; firm, fast, and unmoveable. read more
