Psalm 33:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 33:10

The Lord bringeth the counsel of the Heathen to nought
The psalmist having taken notice of the works of creation, in order to excite the saints to praise, proceeds to observe the providence of God, and particularly that branch of it which lies in disappointing the designs of wicked men; it is wickedness which they consult and devise, and thin is against the Lord's people, his cause and interest, and so against himself; and though their schemes are formed and contrived with a great deal of subtlety, yet they are commonly blasted; whether laid by particular persons, as by Ahithophel against David; or by nations, whole bodies of men, as of the Egyptians and Assyrians against Israel; and of Jews and Gentiles against Christ and his cause;

he maketh the devices of the people of none effect;
the same thing is expressed here as before, in different words, for the further confirmation of it, and that it might be attended to. This is the Lord's doing, he is omniscient, and knows all the secret plots and designs of men; and he is omnipotent, and counteracts them, and confounds them in all their measures; and is faithful to his people, cause, and interest.

Psalm 33:10 In-Context

8 Que toute la terre craigne l'Eternel! Que tous les habitants du monde tremblent devant lui!
9 Car il dit, et la chose arrive; Il ordonne, et elle existe.
10 L'Eternel renverse les desseins des nations, Il anéantit les projets des peuples;
11 Les desseins de l'Eternel subsistent à toujours, Et les projets de son coeur, de génération en génération.
12 Heureuse la nation dont l'Eternel est le Dieu! Heureux le peuple qu'il choisit pour son héritage!
