Psalms 33

Chapter 33

1st - A call for praise.

2nd - Why He deserves praise.

2023 - We see again that it is with his Word that he creates.  His power is expressed in mere speech.  What he commands happens.  His word alone - sound - creates.  And this verse:  7 He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses. [Psa 33:7 ESV].  That last phrase is interesting.  It is a corroborating verse for Noah's flood.  Huge volumes of water are stored somewhere.  Chemically perhaps or plain old physically, and God controls the release and recovery of that water.  Enough water to cover the mountains. 

3rd - God created all, all should fear Him.

4th - God rules over the nations, over all of man's devising.

         12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! [Psa 33:12 ESV]

5th - God looks down on men, and observes all they do.

6th - God watches over, and delivers, those who fear Him.

7th - A request for God's continued care.


2022 - Here is an interesting, and I am sure a very misapplied verse:

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! [Psa 33:12 ESV].  You have to consider that last part of the verse also.  He has chosen Israel, not just anybody who makes God the Lord.  I think we, the US, got a lot of blessings early on because we have been a Christian nation with Christian values.  We were settled by people looking for a place to worship God in peace.  But...we are not chosen as a nation, and THAT is what David is talking about here.  We cannot just take the first part of this verse as a promise to any nation that asks for it.
