Psalms 33:3-11

3 Sing to Him a ¹new song; Play skillfully with ²a shout of joy.

4 For the word of the LORD ³is upright, And all His work is done ⁴in faithfulness.

5 He ⁵loves righteousness and justice; The ⁶earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.

6 By the ⁷word of the LORD the heavens were made, And ⁸by the breath of His mouth ⁹all their host.

7 He gathers the ¹⁰waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

8 Let ¹¹all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world ¹²stand in awe of Him.

9 For ¹³He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

10 The LORD ¹⁴nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.

11 The ¹⁵counsel of the LORD stands forever, The ¹⁶plans of His heart from generation to generation.

Psalms 33:3-11 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.
