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

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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 33:1-22

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

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
