References for Psa 33:1 —  1   2 

Psalm Ps. 33. This is a hymn of praise to the God who made all things, who rules all things for his own purposes, and who has chosen a people to be his own and to bless the whole world. Many of its themes come from Genesis. The psalm flows from a call to praise God, to several reasons for praise, to a closing filled with glad and peaceful hope.

Ps. 33:1–3 The new song (see 40:3; 98:1; Isa. 42:10; Rev. 5:9) may describe a response to a new experience of God’s grace.

Ps. 33:4–9 The first reason for praise is God’s word (vv. 4, 6, 9). It is upright, expressing God’s righteous motives (vv. 4–5), and it is spoken by the God who made everything (vv. 6–9). See Gen. 1:1–2:3, where each time God spoke, what he commanded came to be.

Ps. 33:10–12 The second reason for praise is that no power can oppose God successfully, because they all derive their being and power from God. people whom he has chosen as his heritage. The descendants of Abraham have been called by God to teach the whole world about him (Gen. 12:1–3). Blessed by God, thus they bless.

Ps. 33:20–22 As the faithful understand the greatness and wonder of God, they are strengthened to rest their souls on the Lord. They are confident that God’s plans will succeed.
