Psalm 33
1. God is to be praised for his goodness
6. for his power
12. and for his providence
20. Confidence is to be placed in God














He shapes the hearts of each
This phrase emphasizes the sovereignty and intimate involvement of God in the lives of individuals. The Hebrew word for "shapes" is "יֹצֵר" (yotser), which is often used in the context of a potter forming clay. This imagery suggests that God is actively involved in molding and guiding the inner being of every person. The heart, in Hebrew thought, is the center of one's emotions, will, and intellect. Thus, God is not only aware of our innermost thoughts and desires but is also actively shaping them according to His divine purpose. This reflects the biblical theme of God's omnipotence and His personal care for each individual, underscoring the belief that every person is uniquely crafted by the Creator.

He considers all their works
The word "considers" comes from the Hebrew "מֵבִין" (mevin), which means to understand or discern. This indicates that God not only observes but also comprehends the actions and intentions behind them. The phrase "all their works" encompasses the entirety of human actions and endeavors. In a historical and scriptural context, this reflects the biblical teaching that nothing is hidden from God’s sight (Hebrews 4:13). It serves as a reminder of the accountability each person has before God, who is both just and merciful. This understanding encourages believers to live righteously, knowing that their actions are seen and evaluated by a holy and loving God. It also provides comfort, as it assures that God is aware of the struggles and efforts of His people, and He is just in His judgments.

(15) He fashioneth.--Better,

"Moulding their hearts for all,

Observing all their deeds."

The Hebrew word rendered "fashion" is that used of a potter moulding clay.

Verse 15. - He fashioneth their hearts alike; rather, he mouldeth the hearts of them all. The hearts of all men are in God's keeping, and his gracious influences are exerted to "mould" them aright. Some hearts are too stubborn to yield themselves up to his fashioning, and refuse to take the impress which he desires to impart; but all, or almost all, owe it to him that they are not worse than they are. He considereth all their works; rather, he understandeth all their works - estimates, i.e., all they do at its just value, knowing the true nature of each act, its motive, aim, essence.
