 All the psalms to the end of 39. unfold the moral state of the Jewish remnant in the last days. I say the moral state, more than their condition under oppression, and the thought of forgiveness gives in general a brighter tint to the coloring of them. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 33-36 by J.N. Darby)
 The psalm celebrates the full deliverance of Israel from every enemy, and makes manifest that this deliverance will not be brought about by the counsels of man, by victorious hosts, or human strength, but by the Lord Himself. (Psalms 33 by H. Smith)
 Consequent upon realizing the blessedness of sins forgiven (Ps. 32), the remnant respond to the exhortation to rejoice in the Lord given at the end of the previous psalm. They praise Him as their Creator and Redeemer in a “new song” (vs. 1-5). (Book 1. by B. Anstey)
