Wisdom From God
A Journey Through The Psalms

2. Psalm 33 – Sing For Joy We will take this psalm very literally
We will be singing songs of joy and praise to God as we examine the contents of this psalm.
We will NOT be playing instruments – as per New Testament commandments to sing and make melody in our hearts.
Why sing for joy? Many reasons!

3. Sing Because God’s Word Is Upright
Speaks of the truthfulness and faithfulness of God.
Psalm 33:1 – “Sing for joy in the Lord, O you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright.
We sing praise to God because it is BECOMING.

4. Psalm 33:4-5
“For the word of the Lord is upright, and all His work is done in faithfulness. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.”
His work is done in faithfulness
He loves righteousness and justice
He fills the earth with lovingkindness.

5. 1 – Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah1.
Hallelujah, praise Jehovah!
From the heavens praise His name;
Praise Jehovah in the highest;
All His angels praise proclaim,
All His hosts together praise Him,
Sun and moon and stars on high;
Praise Him, O ye heaven of heavens,
And ye floods above the sky.

He is the Creator God

42. Sing Because God Protects Us
Vs – “The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men; From His dwelling place He looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works.”
God knows exactly what we need, because He fashioned our hearts and understands all about us.

43. Can you trust anything?
Verses – “The king is not saved by a mighty army; a warrior is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a false hope for victory; nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.”
God knows our heart
He knows what makes us function best
He knows how to protect us

Let Your lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in You.”

He protects us and keeps us
We hope in Him

You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?
