Psalm 33:1

Psalm 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.

Psalm 33:1 In-Context

1 Jubelt, ihr Gerechten, in Jehova! Den Aufrichtigen geziemt Lobgesang.

2 Preiset Jehova mit der Laute; singet ihm Psalmen mit der Harfe von zehn Saiten!

3 Singet ihm ein neues Lied; spielet wohl mit Jubelschall!

4 Denn gerade ist das Wort Jehovas, und all sein Werk in Wahrheit.

5 Er liebt Gerechtigkeit und Recht; die Erde ist voll der Güte Jehovas.
