Salmos 33:20

THE CONCLUSION

"Our soul hath waited for Jehovah:

He is our help and our shield.

For our heart shall rejoice in him,

Because we have trusted in his holy name.

Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us,

According as we have hoped in thee."

"In Psalms 33:20, we still hear the echo of Deuteronomy 33:29, that basic promise, in which God pronounced the perpetual blessing upon Israel."[20]

The nation, as did Israel, or any individual who really belongs to God need have no fear of anything whatsoever. That passage from Deuteronomy is this:

"Happy art thou, O Israel,

Who is like unto thee, a people saved by Jehovah,

The shield of thy help,

And the sword of thy excellency!

And thine enemies shall submit themselves unto thee;

And thou shalt tread upon their high places." - Deuteronomy 39:29.

These glorious promises once belonged to Racial Israel; but today God has a New Israel, the Church of Our Lord; and all of the glorious promises that once pertained to Racial Israel are today the exclusive property of the Holy Church of Jesus Christ. This excludes no racial Jew; but, at the same time, it includes no one whomsoever merely upon the basis of his racial origin. The New Israel is composed of "The one New Man in Christ Jesus."

"Lovingkindness" (Psalms 33:22). We have already noted that this is one of David's favorite words, adding another link to the chain of evidence that points to the harpist of Israel as the author of this psalm.
