诗篇 33:18

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 33:12-22

We are here taught to give to God the glory, I. Of his common providence towards all the children of men. Though he has endued man with understanding and freedom of will, yet he reserves to himself the government of him, and even of those very faculties by which he is qualified to govern himself. 1. The children of men are all under his eye, even their hearts are so; and all the motions and operations of their souls, which none know but they themselves, he knows better than they themselves,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 33:18

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him ,.... Not with dread of his wrath, or distrust of his grace, or for sinister ends and selfish views, but with a godly fear; by which men hate evil, depart from it, are careful not to offend God by it, but to serve and worship him; on such is not only his eye of Providence to protect from danger, to supply with the necessaries of life, but of love and grace; he looks upon them with delight and pleasure; his eye is upon them to watch... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 33:18

Behold, the eye of the Lord - Though all the above are unavailing, yet here is one thing that can never fail; "the eye of the Lord" - the watchful providence of the Most High, "is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy." read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 33:18

Verse 18 18.Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him. Having shown that what men account their best defences often profit them nothing, or rather are utterly worthless, when men depend upon them; the Psalmist now shows, on the other hand, that believers, although they are neither men of great power nor of great wealth, are nevertheless sufficiently protected by God’s favor alone, and shall be safe for ever. His meaning is not a little illustrated by this comparison, that kings and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:1-22

As a simple psalm of praise and thanksgiving, intended for the service of the temple, it is well worthy of admiration, being "singularly bright, and replete with beautiful imagery" ('Speaker's Commentary'). Metrically, it consists of six strophes, the first and last containing three verses each, and the intermediate ones each four verses. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:1-22

Joy in God. In this section of the Commentary we aim at discovering the unity of the psalm, and of dealing with it accordingly, reserving the treatment of specific verses as separate texts, for another department. This psalm has neither title nor author's name appended thereto. It is manifestly an outburst of glad and gladdening song from some Old Testament believer, and is a glorious anticipation of Philippians 4:4 . It is refreshing to the spirit to find that in the olden times there... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:1-22

This is a hymn of praise to God, as at once the Almighty Creator and Ruler of the world, and the Protector of his chosen people. Psalms 33:12 may he regarded as the pivot on which the whole psalm turns. What was true ideally, and in part of Israel, is true in fact and perfectly of God's people. "Blessed"— I. BECAUSE THE LORD IS THEIR GOD . The prophets delight to mark the contrast between the gods of the heathen and Jehovah ( Deuteronomy 32:31 ; Psalms 86:8 ; Isaiah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:12-19

Further reasons for praising God are now assigned, the recitation of them being itself a sort of praise. 1 . God has Blessed especially one nation—the nation now called upon to praise him ( Psalms 33:12 ). 2 . His providence and care are extended over all mankind ( Psalms 33:13 , Psalms 33:14 ). 3 . His gracious influences are poured out on the hearts of all ( Psalms 33:15 ). 4 . He is the sole Protector and Deliverer of men from danger and death ( Psalms 33:16-19 ). read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:12-22

What God's people possess in him. The call to praise God is supported by a setting forth of that which his people possess in him. The theme of this second part of the psalm is set forth in the twelfth verse, "Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah." I. BECAUSE GOD IS THE CREATOR HE HAS THE MOST PERFECT KNOWLEDGE . ( Psalms 33:13-15 .) He not only observes men's doings, but knows their hearts, as having created them. You cannot know a man perfectly from... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 33:18

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him; upon them that hope in his mercy . The eye of the Lord is in a certain sense upon all ( Psalms 33:13 , Psalms 33:14 ), but it rests especially upon the righteous. He notes how all men act, but carefully watches over the safety and prosperity of his faithful ones read more
