8 Let the whole earth tremble before the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9 For He spoke, and it came into being; He commanded, and it came into existence.
10 The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations; He thwarts the plans of the peoples.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation.
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord- the people He has chosen to be His own possession!
13 The Lord looks down from heaven; He observes everyone.
14 He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth from His dwelling place.
15 He alone crafts their hearts; He considers all their works.
16 A king is not saved by a large army; a warrior will not be delivered by great strength.
17 The horse is a false hope for safety; it provides no escape by its great power.
18 Now the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him- those who depend on His faithful love

Psalm 33:8-18 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 33

Though this psalm has no title to it, it seems to be a psalm of David, from the style and matter of it; and indeed begins with the same words with which the preceding psalm is ended. Theodoret is of opinion it was written by David as a prophecy concerning Hezekiah, as a song to be sung by the people after the destruction of the Assyrian army.
