Psalm 33- the power of God
When there are righteous people in the world, when they are praising The Lord,
It seems to be that the power of God cane be seen more clearly to us, as written in psalm 33:1-
"רַנְּנוּ צַדִּיקִים, בַּיהוָה; לַיְשָׁרִים, נָאוָה תְהִלָּה."
"Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, praise is comely for the upright"
This psalm start with the saying that the power of God is not hidden to us, we can see it, we can feel it, we can understand a part of it- we just have to look at the nature to see the miracles of The Almighty as written in next verses, but first of all let us play with the harp, let us sing loud and clear, let us compose to him a new song, cause he is the one who does the justice, he is the one the grace and kindness, the one who can commend this actions:
"בִּדְבַר יְהוָה, שָׁמַיִם נַעֲשׂוּ; וּבְרוּחַ פִּיו, כָּל-צְבָאָם.
כֹּנֵס כַּנֵּד, מֵי הַיָּם; נֹתֵן בְּאוֹצָרוֹת תְּהוֹמוֹת.
יִירְאוּ מֵיְהוָה, כָּל-הָאָרֶץ; מִמֶּנּוּ יָגוּרוּ, כָּל-יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל.
כִּי הוּא אָמַר וַיֶּהִי; הוּא-צִוָּה, וַיַּעֲמֹד"
"By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. He gathered the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him for He spoke and it was; He commanded, and it stood."
The power of God consists, among others, the submission of the nature to him, from above, upward, from the heavens downward, to the ocean and the sea. Furthermore the power is on the human beings, all the people of the world. Pay attention, my friends to the last two sentences that exhibit to us the parallelism!
Next time we will speak about the thoughts of The Almighty.
