Title Anonymous Praise Poems (Psalm 33:1)
Contents Psalm 33 is an anonymous psalm of praise, and the year and motive of its writing are uncertain.
This poem is an invitation to worship and praise God.
This content does not say that we must praise God unconditionally, but divides them into four reasons why we must praise God inevitably.
Sections 1-3 are the introductory part, an invitation to praise for the saints.
Here, the poet first defines who is worthy of praise.
The righteous refer to those who are legally recognized by God, and the honest refer to those whose subjective attitude is sincere.
God only receives praise from such people.
Give thanks to the LORD with the harp, and sing praises with the ten-stringed lyre.
Sing him with a new song, play craftily with a pleasant sound.
A joyful sound is the attitude of the passionate heart of the praiser.
Gongchichi refers to doing diligently with all the talents you have.
Praise is something that all the saints should participate in with all their zeal and sincerity.
Praise glorifies God, of course, but secondarily, it gives us new blessings and opportunities for joy.
Verses 4,5 are the first reason.
It is because of the faithfulness of Jehovah.
Our God, Jehovah, is a God of strict justice and justice, and at the same time is full of mercy and compassion.
God is not a possessor of prejudice without law, nor a cold judge without love.
Therefore, he is worthy of praise.
Verses 6 and 7 are the second reason.
Because of the power of the word of Jehovah.
God has the power to carry out His will.
God fulfills His will through His Word, and the Word of God is itself the substance of power presented to man.
When God spoke, creation came into existence.
There is nothing that did not go as God commanded.
Therefore, all peoples of the world must praise God.
Verses 8-17 are the third reason.
Because of the greatness of Jehovah's work.
God does not save those who trust in Himself.
No one has a plan from birth, and no one is born according to his or her own liking.
No one can postpone death.
People cannot live on their own.
In spite of this life, there are people who live splendidly.
They are the people who act according to God's eternal plan.
Blessed are those who know that in the end, budgets and accounts fit together, and thus those who love and follow God with their hearts.
We all want to be winners in life.
No one wants to lose.
So we do a lot of calculations.
It's important to make sure you do the math.
But the Bible shows us how to calculate differently than our people do.
A lot of horses and a lot of troops are not the way to victory.
That's not even the power of victory.
God does not save kings or those who rely on human power or words.
Rather, he hopes in the Lord and saves and keeps those in whom he trusts.
A God who shows us different values, He shows us that the value of life does not consist in having too much or little, and that it is much greater to serve than to be served.
It teaches us that it is far better to be praised in heaven than to do what we are doing now.
Dear saints, We depend on God, but God watches over us and guides us, allowing us to live even in times of famine.
Famine refers to a time of physical, spiritual, and tribulation that believers experience.
Eschatologically, it refers to the time of judgment.
For believers, God is a comforter in their suffering and a stronghold of refuge in tribulation.
The only savior is Jehovah God.
Such a God is worthy of praise.
Verses 18 and 19 are the fourth reason.
Because of Jehovah's love for humans.
Knowing God's paternal love and care for all believers, we can't help but praise God for what He is doing.
And verses 20-22 are concluding prayers.
God's people depend on God.
Supplication and praise are the most direct way for believers to have communion with God until the end of their lives.

.new psca ?????????????????????????????-y1 Psalm 28:1-9/Cry-y0 ??? ?????????????????????????? The prophet Isaiah sang about the hidden God (Isaiah 45:15). You cannot meet God.
The unrighteous think that they are the center of the world, and solve everything around them.
Their hearts are filled with only themselves, and there is no room for the Absolute. Their eyes, which are full of decay and dying, cannot see God.
There is no God to the unrighteous.
Even God is hiding from them.
Only the pure in heart can see God.
As long as we do not cast off the world's perishable greed and sinful thoughts that lead to death, the good God is always hidden.
Humans who have forsaken God's righteousness by themselves have been cut off from their relationship with Jehovah God.
Now, it is not so simple for man to restore his relationship with God. Normal means do not open the way to that relationship.
Today, our poet David is crying out to God (verse 1). Only when there is a human petition that is expressed by the cry, God's answer is expected.
In fact, in the Old Testament, God's saving action often begins with human pleading.
The Israelites were crying out from the oppression of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the captive people were howling in the land of Babylon.
Each time, Jehovah's answer followed, and the history of salvation unfolded on this earth.
However, the cry of the Old Testament meant freedom from the suffering of the righteous, and there is no story of the wicked crying out.
What Christians today cry out to God and ask for is the petition of the righteous in the name of Jesus.
Jehovah, who has never turned away from the pleas of the righteous, listens to the cry of the saints today.
<The Lord is my strength and shield> The poet cannot hide his joy (verse 6 and below) <Cry out> It reminds me of the thrill of sharing the joy of receiving the Lord's answer.
The Lord's answer is a marvelous thing that God blesses our industry and that God Himself becomes our shepherd (verse 9).
