Psalm 33: this Psalm is part of a liturgy. A. It has no MT title (like Psalms 1, 2, 10), but the new song, in verse 3, implies some major historical event. Because of Ps. 33:16-17, probably it refers to a military victory. B.I am moved by the universal scope of YHWHs purposes that include all humans (i.e., see use of all in Ps. 33:8,13-15). Note the shocking affirmation of Ps. 33:5b! See the full list of texts that show the inclusion of Gentiles from the very beginning as YHWHs ultimate purpose in covenant, 33:10-12 in my notes. The psalm moves from divine rule to israels trust. The culminating statement of trust (bth) in verse 2 is illuminated by the narrative theology of 2 Kgs. 18:19-26 in that text that exposits trust the Assyrian diplomat challenges King Hezekiah not to rely on YHWH. The term rely in verses 20, 21 and 24 render the term for bth.
