Psalms 33:1

Psalms 33:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 33:1

Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous
(See Gill on Psalms 32:11);

[for] praise is comely for the upright;
it becomes them; it is their duty; they are bound unto it by the mercies and favours they have received; should they not give praise to God, the stones of the wall would cry out, and rebuke them for their ingratitude: it is beautiful, and looks lovely in them; it is an ornament to them, and is, in the sight of God, of great esteem: it is very acceptable to him, and when grace is in exercise, and their hearts in tune, being sensibly touched and impressed with the goodness of God, it is desirable by them, and is pleasant and delightful to them.

3 Sing to him a new song, make music at your best among shouts of joy.

4 For the word of ADONAI is true, and all his work is trustworthy.

5 He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the grace of ADONAI.
