Psalm 33

Psalm 33 is the 33rd psalm from the Book of Psalms.

In the International Critical Commentary series, Charles and Emilie Briggs described it as follows: "Ps. 33 is a song of praise. (1) A call to worship in the temple with song, music, and shouting (v.1-3), because of the righteousness and kindness of Yahweh (v.4-5). (2) All mankind are called to fear Yahweh, the creator of all things, and disposer of all nations (v.6-10). (3) Yahweh from His heavenly throne inspects all mankind (v.13-15); and victory is not due to armies or warriors (v.16-17). (4) He delivereth those who fear Him (v.18-19); therefore his people long for Him, are glad in him, and trust in His name for victory (v.20-22). A gloss praises the plans of Yahweh as everlastingly secure, and also the happiness of His people (v.11-12)."[1]

Psalm 33 does not contain an ascription to any particular author in the Hebrew text, though the Greek Septuagint ascribes it to David.[2] The Briggses suggest that it dates to the time of the Maccabees.[3]
