F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 33:1-12

“The Word of Jehovah” Psalms 33:1-12 This psalm is eminently calculated to incite praise. Let us note the subjects which are touched upon, in the hope that presently one may strike a spark at which our cold hearts shall flame up. The words and works of Jehovah are the first to pass in review, Psalms 33:4 . Let us never forget that nothing was made apart from our Lord Jesus. He is emphatically the Word through whom the creative fiat went forth, John 1:3 ; Colossians 1:16 ; Hebrews 1:2 . It... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 33:1-22

This is a triumphant song of praise, opening with a call to vocal and instrumental music. "Rejoice," "praise," "give thanks," "sing praises," "sing," "play"-thus all modes of expression are appealed to. The praise proceeds and the greatness and goodness of Jehovah are sung in general terms (4-11). The whole of the facts are summarized, His word is right, His work is faithful! (4). His character is perfect, combining light- "righteousness and judgment"; and love- "loving-kindness" (5). He is... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Psalms 33:1-22

The Triune God Psalms 33:1-22 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It is important for us to get a scriptural vision of the triune God. In the Book of Genesis we read, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The word for God, however, is "Elohim." It is a plural word. It is scriptural to say that God the Father created the heaven and the earth. It is just as scriptural to say that God the Son created the heaven and the earth. It is likewise scriptural to say that God the Spirit created the... read more

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

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

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 33:6

By the word of the Lord; either, 1. By the hypostatical Word, Christ, who is oft called God’s Word, even by the Chaldee paraphrast; as also John 1:1-3, where he is said to be that Word by whom all things were made. So that which is here spoken more darkly and doubtedly, according to that state of the church, is more clearly declared in the New Testament. Or, 2. By his will or command, as this very phrase is here used, Psalms 33:4, and as it seems to be explained, Psalms 33:9. And so it hath a... read more

Joseph Exell

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

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 33:6

Psalms 33:6 Psalms 19:1 I. The whole of revelation reposes on this broad platform: how God and nature stand to one another. Now there are two opposite extremes into which our conceptions on this point may fall. We may immerse God in nature, or we may isolate nature from God. (1) We immerse God in nature if we treat nature as itself possessed of properties which are strictly personal, as when, for example, we accustom ourselves to think of it as originating its own processes, as intending its... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 33:1-22

Psalms 33:1-22 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely [or beautiful] for the upright ( Psalms 33:1 ).Now, this is something that you might not be able to do as you read it.Praise the LORD with a harp: sing unto him with a psaltery ( Psalms 33:2 )Another instrument in those days.and an instrument of ten strings ( Psalms 33:2 ).Actually, David was quite a musician. These were all written to be sung. And he invented many instruments. David was actually an inventor of... read more
