Introduction
The Lord is praised for his works of creation, Psalm 33:1-9 ; and for the stability of his own counsels, Psalm 33:10 , Psalm 33:11 . The blessedness of the people who have the knowledge of the true God, his grace, and providence, Psalm 33:12-15 . The vanity of all earthly dependence, Psalm 33:16 , Psalm 33:17 . The happiness of them that fear God, and trust in his mercy, Psalm 33:18-22 .
This Psalm has no title in the Hebrew and it was probably written on no particular occasion, but was intended as a hymn of praise in order to celebrate the power, wisdom, and mercy of God. Creation and providence are its principal subjects; and these lead the psalmist to glance at different parts of the ancient Jewish history. In eight of Kennicott's MSS., this Psalm is written as a part of the preceding.
