He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses.
Only the righteous can truly praise God, for unbelievers who have never tasted His goodness cannot speak His glory from the heart. When the ungodly attempt this exercise, they profane His holy name rather than honor it.

Commenting on Psalm 33:1-22
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap. The waters were once scattered like corn strewn upon a threshing floor: they are now collected in one spot as an heap. Who else could have gathered them into one channel but their great Lord, at whose bidding the waters fled away?
Holy joy must stir in the heart first, then break forth in praise, that is the life of all our worship. Sing Him new songs, not worn-out ones; use both mind and feeling, both skill and fervor. Praise is the very ornament and comeliness that befits the righteous.
