Psalm 33
1. God is to be praised for his goodness
6. for his power
12. and for his providence
20. Confidence is to be placed in God














(1) Rejoice.--A common hymnic word, meaning properly to "shout," or "sing for joy."

Verse 1. - Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous (see the first clause of Psalm 32:11, of which this is almost a repetition; and comp. also Psalm 68:3; Psalm 97:12). For praise is comely for the upright. The Prayer-book Version gives the meaning, less literally, but in more idiomatic English, "For it becometh well the just to be thankful."
