Psalms 33:1 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

God is to be praised for his goodness, for his power, and for his providence. Confidence is to be placed in God.

A Psalm of David.

Title This is said to be a psalm of David; but the particular occasion of its composition is not known: It seems probable, however, that it was composed by David in commemoration of the great deliverance of their forefathers, when God overthrew the chariots and the horses of the Egyptian king in the sea, and afterwards fed his people in the wilderness. See Psalms 33:7; Psalms 33:9-10; Psalms 33:15-16; Psalms 33:18. Be this, however, as it may, without any reference to an immediate subject, it is an excellent hymn on the power and providence of God.

Psalms 33:1
