Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 33:1-22

Psalms 33This psalm calls the godly to praise Yahweh for His dependable Word and His righteous works, specifically His creative activities in nature and human history. The psalmist also assured the readers that He will be faithful to those who trust in Him."If the purest form of a hymn is praise to God for what He is and does, this is a fine example. The body of the psalm is occupied with the Lord as Creator, Sovereign, Judge and Saviour, while the beginning and end express two elements of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 33:4-5

Two qualities of God that the writer stressed in this second section of the psalm are that Yahweh is dependable and righteous. We can rely on everything He says and does, and He does what is right in loyal love for His people. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 33:6-11

These verses expand the idea that God is reliable (v.4). Psalms 33:6-7 describe creation as coming into existence by the word of God. Psalms 33:8-9 draw a conclusion from these facts, that, since by His word God created the world, everyone should reverence Him. Psalms 33:10-11 depict God’s word as determining what has happened in history since the creation. What the Lord says takes place regardless of the plans of people and nations. His works prevail. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 33:1-22

This is an anonymous Ps. of national deliverance, called forth by some historical occasion which it is now impossible to fix with any certainty. From its central conception of God as the ruler of all the earth and all the nations, it appears to belong to the later prophetic age. The metrical structure is specially regular. The first three and the last three vv. form corresponding groups of 6 lines each, and Psalms 33:4-19 consist of six groups of 4 lines each. The opening call to praise (Psalms... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 33:6

(6) The breath of his mouth.—This is plainly only a synonym for word. (Comp. Isaiah 11:4, where “breath of his lips” is used for the Divine sentence of judgment upon the heathen.) read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 33:7

(7) As an heap.—The image explains itself (so we speak of waves “mountains high “) without reference to the passage either of the Red Sea or the Jordan. Still less is there a comparison to heaps of corn, some think, since storehouses in the next clause are not necessarily barns, but reservoirs. But the LXX., Vulg., and all ancient interpreters read nôd (“a skin”), instead of nêd (“a heap”), and make the reference to the rain, the clouds being considered as bottles. With this comp. Job 38:37. read more

God's Bounty Psalms 33:7 I. When we speak of the harvest, we are accustomed to think only of the corn harvest; but the word has a far wider significance. Our granaries contain not a tithe of His gifts. Nor is the Creator's bounty limited to the products of each passing year. The cycle of God's harvests is measured by ages rather than by seasons. II. The lesson of trust. In days of a youthful and somewhat arrogant science, in our fancied knowledge of second causes, it is possible for our trust... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 33:1-22

Psalms 33:1-22This is the last of the four psalms in Book 1 which have no title, the others being Psalms 1:1-6; Psalms 2:1-12, which are introductory, and 10 which is closely connected with 9. Some have endeavoured to establish a similar connection between 32, and 33; but, while the closing summons to the righteous in the former is substantially repeated in the opening words of the latter, there is little other trace of connection, except the references in both to "the eye of Jehovah"; {Psalms... read more
