Commentary on Psalms 33:16

Theological / Devotional

No king saved. The fifth reason for praise (see on vs. 4, 6, 10, 13) is that Jehovah is omnipotent. By employing references to the relative impotence of rulers, strong men, and cavalry, the psalmist implies that Jehovah alone is omnipotent. This is an extraordinary poetic device, its implied meaning being discernible only to the attentive reader.
