Psalms 33:6-9

6 The LORD merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born.

7 He assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.

8 Let the whole world fear the LORD, and let everyone stand in awe of him.

9 For when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command.

Psalms 33:6-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 33

Though this psalm has no title to it, it seems to be a psalm of David, from the style and matter of it; and indeed begins with the same words with which the preceding psalm is ended. Theodoret is of opinion it was written by David as a prophecy concerning Hezekiah, as a song to be sung by the people after the destruction of the Assyrian army.
