Psalm 33:1-9

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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 33:1-22

Psalms 33:0 The Future Praise of Jehovah 1. The call to praise Jehovah (Psalms 33:1-3 ) 2. His praise as the Creator (Psalms 33:4-9 ) 3. His praise of His governmental dealings (Psalms 33:10-17 ) 4. His praise as the Keeper and Deliverer of the Righteous (Psalms 33:18-22 ) What the last verse of the preceding Psalm exhorts to shout for joy, is in this Psalm more fully unfolded. Such praise the Lord has not yet received, it looks forward to millennial times when all earth fears the Lord... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 33:2

33:2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery [and] an {b} instrument of ten strings.(b) To sing on instruments, was a part of the ceremonial service of the temple, which does not belong to us any more than the sacrifices, censors and light. read more
