Psalms 33:1-6

1 Sing to the Lord, you who do what is right; honest people should praise him.

2 Praise the Lord on the harp; make music for him on a ten-stringed lyre.

3 Sing a new song to him; play well and joyfully.

4 God's word is true, and everything he does is right.

5 He loves what is right and fair; the Lord's love fills the earth.

6 The sky was made at the Lord's command. By the breath from his mouth, he made all the stars.

Psalms 33:1-6 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.
