Psalms 33:1-3

1 Let the godly sing for joy to the LORD ; it is fitting for the pure to praise him.

2 Praise the LORD with melodies on the lyre; make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.

3 Sing a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy.

Psalms 33:1-3 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.
