PSALM XXXIII
Charles H. Spurgeon · The Treasury of David · 244 of 422
PSALM XXXIII.
Title.—This song of praise bears no title or indication of authorship; to teach us, says Dickson, “to look upon holy Scripture as altogether inspired of God, and not put price upon it for the writers thereof.”
Subject and Divisions.—The praise of Jehovah is the subject of this sacred song. The righteous are exhorted to praise him, verses 1-3; because of the excellency of his character, 4, 5; and his majesty in creation, 6, 7. Men are bidden to fear before Jehovah because his purposes are accomplished in providence, 8-11. His people are proclaimed blessed, 12. The omniscience and omnipotence of God, and his care of his people are celebrated, in opposition to the weakness of an arm of flesh, 13-19; and the Psalm concludes with a fervent expression of confidence, 20, 21, and an earnest prayer, 22.
