Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
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
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Israel was happy in the worship of the only true God. It was the blessedness of the chosen nation to have received a revelation from Jehovah. While others grovelled before their idols, the chosen people were elevated by a spiritual religion which introduced them to the invisible God, and led them to trust in him.
Though God's residence is in the highest heavens, thence He sees all things and all persons; not the least thought can escape His observation. He fashioned every heart and still moulds them, turning them whichever way He pleases to serve His own purposes.
