Psalm 33:8-18

Listen to Psalm 33:8-18
8 (32-8) Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
9 (32-9) For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.
10 (32-10) The Lord bringeth to nought the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
11 (32-11) But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 (32-12) Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
13 (32-13) The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men.
14 (32-14) From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.
15 (32-15) He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works.
16 (32-16) The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.
17 (32-17) Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.
18 (32-18) Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy.

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.
