Psalms 33:1-22

The first verse takes up the final thought of Psalms 32:1-11. The one who has become righteous through the pardoning of his sins is called upon to rejoice and to praise the LORD. This is the privilege and the duty of every believer. Moreover this psalm applies directly to the future Israel, when their rejection of their Messiah will have been forgiven them. Their praise will have three great themes: God’s faithfulness (vv. 4-9): He is the Creator of all things. God’s wisdom (vv. 10-17): He takes everything into account and rules over the nations. God’s goodness (vv. 18-22): this goodness operates towards all those who trust in Him. The new song (v. 3) is here in association with a new earth, from which God will have swept away injustice and which He will have filled with His goodness. The counsel of the heathen, the devices of the people, will have been brought to nothing so that the eternal counsels of God and the thoughts of His heart may be achieved (vv. 10, 11). His Word has created the heavens (cf. v. 6 and Hebrews 11:3). That same Word now gives us new life and works in us whilst it waits to be fully operative in a restored earth. God looks from heaven and beholds all the inhabitants of the earth (vv. 13, 14). But, according to His promise in Psalms 32:8, He particularly follows with His watchful eye those who fear Him and that hope in His mercy (v. 18; see also Psalms 34:15).
