Psalm 33 is a song of praise, especially for God’s protection. While there is no specific author attached to this psalm, the translators of the Septuagint ascribe authorship to David. As well, there is no specific occasion given for this psalm. However, based on verse sixteen, the psalm does reference God’s protection at the Red Sea. As well, based on verse nineteen, the psalmist references God’s protection during the famine. This is likely a reference to the three year famine during the reign of David. Whether the psalmist had in mind these specific occasion, is unknown. What is known it that God is to be praised for protecting His people!
