Psalms 33:1-9

1 David cum inmutavit vultum suum coram Abimelech et dimisit eum et abiit

2 benedicam Dominum in omni tempore semper laus eius in ore meo

3 in Domino laudabitur anima mea audiant mansueti et laetentur

4 magnificate Dominum mecum et exaltemus nomen eius in id ipsum

5 exquisivi Dominum et exaudivit me et ex omnibus tribulationibus meis eripuit me

6 accedite ad eum et inluminamini et facies vestrae non confundentur

7 iste pauper clamavit et Dominus exaudivit %eum; et de omnibus tribulationibus eius salvavit eum

8 vallabit angelus Domini in circuitu timentium eum et eripiet eos

9 gustate et videte quoniam suavis est Dominus beatus vir qui sperat in eo

Psalms 33:1-9 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.
