PSALM 33

PSALM 33

1) Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous:  for praise is comely for the upright.

2) Praise the Lord with harp:  sing unto Him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

3) Sing unto Him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.

4) For the Word of the Lord is right; and all His works are done in truth.

5) He loveth righteousness and judgment:  the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

6) By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.

7) He gathers the waters of the sea together as an heap:  He lays up the depth in storehouses.

8) Let all the earth fear the Lord:  let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

9) For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

10) The Lord brings the counsel of the heathen to nought:  He makes the devices of the people of none effect.

11) The counsel of the Lord stands for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.

12) Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.

In God We Trust

 

13) The Lord looks from heaven; He beholds all the sons of men.

14) From the place of His habitation He looks upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

15) He fashions their hearts alike; He considers all their works.

16) There is no king saved by the multitude of an host:  a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17) An horse is a vain thing for safety:  neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. 

18) Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His mercy;

19) To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

20) Our soul waits for the Lord:  He is our help and our shield.

21) For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His Holy Name.

22) Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in Thee.

COMMENTARY

1) "Praise is not comely in unpardoned professional singers."  This is how Charles Spurgeon states it in his commentary, "The Treasury of David", where I am studying The Psalms.  It is uncomely for the Unsaved to sing praises to God.

2) All notes of music belong to God.  He deserves all of them to be played in worship of Him, holding nothing back.

3)  All of God's children should loudly and skillfully sing His praises.  No mumbling or discords.

4) The works of God are done as an outflow of His Word, which is truth.

5) If God sees no righteousness in us (if we are not washed in the blood of Jesus Christ and His righteousness be imputed to us), then He will judge us righteously.  It's that simple.  Have you been washed in the blood of Jesus?  click here to learn more:   https://omaswisdom.blogspot.com/p/path-to-salvation.html.

6) Another Name for Jesus is The Word but also note that the "Breath" is also credited for creation.  "Breath" is elsewhere rendered "Spirit".  So the entire Godhead is involved in creation.

7) The masses of water are not only where they can be seen by mankind, but some are hidden away in storehouses in the bowels of the earth.  Some feed springs.  Some release pressure as geysers.  God's creation reveals Truths about Him.

8) Even the involuntary trembling of fear is a form of worship.  One day, there will be universal worshipping of the One True God.

9) Even as He created all that is, He also sustains His works by His great power.

10) God thwarts the lots of the heathen.  Though they might slander and persecute Him, they have no ultimate effect.  

11) No device of His foes can thwart His will.  His is the ultimate word on all things.  He is the same God for all time and His will carries from generation to generation seamlessly, "producing ordained results with unerring certainty"

12) Everyone, each person, whose confidence is in the Lord is blessed in the largest and deepest sense, and no one and nothing can reverse the blessing.  Jehovah first calls us to be His people then we take Him to be our God.  We are the delight of the Lord, so we should display our calling for all to see.

13) God never takes His eyes off of His children no matter where you are on the globe.  He is constantly caring for those who put our trust in Him.

14) It is worth repeating that God sees us all day and all night.  He never sleeps and never gets distracted.

15) All hearts are created by God:  hearts of kings and of beggars; and He gives all of us free will.  So, what God sees in our hearts is up to us.

16) There is no power in this world that can protect you when God turns His face from you.  Likewise, there is no power in this world that can harm you when God protects you.  period.  end of story.  Lean on Him for everything and give Him praise for EVERY LITTLE blessing.  By the way, if you want this kind of peace of mind, click here for more information:  https://omaswisdom.blogspot.com/p/path-to-salvation.html

17) The horse is a mighty animal which has been used by armies for centuries. Even a strong, fast horse cannot be trusted to keep you safe, because he can fall on you, kick you, become lame, etc.  Likewise, even the most feared marksman or karate fighter cannot deliver himself from harm.  The Believer, in contrast, has a banquet set up for him in the face of his foes (Psalms 23: 5)  

18) The commentary here states, "They who fear God need not fear anything else; let them fix their eyes of faith on Him and His eye of love will always rest upon them."  Have you not read, "Fear not"?  This is written in the Holy Bible repeatedly.

19) The Apostle Paul said it all:  "To live is Christ; to die is gain."  God will rescue if it is His will; if not, He will bring you home.

20) Daniel prayed to God and was answered.  However, it took three weeks for the answer to be delivered.  Daniel kept praying and waiting, not loosing hope.  The Lord provides for our labor and He alone protects us.

21) I watched my sister battle the spirit of disease for over a decade.  During that time, she was totally devoted to sharing The Gospel.  She may not have been perfect, but her root of faith yielded a crop of rejoicing, even in her death.  Can I take a moment to say this:  if you have ANYONE who loves you, please accept the gift of salvation.  Your funeral will be a celebration of your life for those you leave behind rather than a tormenting pain that never stops.

22) This one line should be the prayer of all Believers.

If this post is a blessing to you, please pray for us as we humbly spread The Gospel that God may be glorified.  You are encouraged to leave your thoughts in the comment section on this site and share this post on your favorite social media.  Thank you all so much.  May you be in good health and prosper, even as your soul prospers.  3 John 2
