Psalms 33:17-23

17 facies Domini super facientes mala ut perdat de terra memoriam eorum

18 clamaverunt iusti et Dominus exaudivit et ex omnibus tribulationibus eorum liberavit eos

19 iuxta est Dominus his qui tribulato sunt corde et humiles spiritu salvabit

20 multae tribulationes iustorum et de omnibus his liberavit eos

21 Dominus custodit omnia ossa eorum unum ex his non conteretur

22 mors peccatorum pessima et qui oderunt iustum delinquent

23 redimet Dominus animas servorum suorum et non delinquent omnes qui sperant in eum

Psalms 33:17-23 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.
