Rabbinic tradition does not summarize Tehillim 33 as “God’s sovereignty” in the abstract. Divine Providence (השגחה) over Israel alone through the brit of blessings and curses. Other nations stand in the shadow of ancient Egypt. Goyim never to this day accept the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. They worship Gods in the Heavens, no different than the ancient Greek worship of the Gods on Mt. Olympus. Post the Roman destruction of Judea and conversion to the Xtian form of Monotheism which contrasts with the Muslim absolute Universal God theology – these Goyim worship a Trinity or Tawhid God in Heaven. Both reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai which introduces the Divine Spirit lives in the Yatzir Ha-Tov hearts of the chosen Cohen people alone. If this Divine Spirit lived in the hearts of Goyim then how could HaShem discern his chosen Cohen people from the non Cohem Goyim like as did HaShem choose the korban of Hevel and rejected the korban of Cain?
Midrash Tehillim 33: God “looks into the deeds of all humanity” and “directs the fate of nations.” The Reshon scholar Radak comments the distinction between hashgacha kelalit (global providence) and hashgacha peratit (individual providence). This comment in alignment with the distinction between the Cain Hevel korbanot.
דבר ה׳ an extremely abstract complex concept that טיפש פשט translations fail to grasp and weigh. Rashi: “The word of Hashem is upright” refers to the Torah and the prophetic promises. Contrasts with the dikduk opinion expressed by Greek assimilated Ibn Ezra from Spain. (Ezra’s son converted to Islam).
Torah absolutely rejects the idea: “The futility of human power without God” as utterly vague and consequently worthless. “God”? Based upon the g’lut realities of Xtian and Muslim Monotheism theology, clearly all but Rabbinic leaders prior to the Rambam held that both Gods worshipped by either Xtians or Muslim not the revelation of the שם השם לשמה first commandment revelation which differentiates between the בראשית vision of אל, האל, אלהים, אל שדי God in the Heavens above and not in the yatzir ha-tov brit hearts below as the post Sinai Torah commands: לא בשמים היא.
Tehillem 33 call to righteous ביטחון – based upon the verb שלום stands upon the foundation of ביטחון/trust. A friend who ‘trusts’ his ally as his brother to guard his back shares no common ground with worship. “Our soul waits for Hashem,” the reference to the First Commandment revelation of the Name validates the vision that HaShem לא בשמים היא. HaShem not a Universal God for all Mankind. Only Israel accepts this revelation of the Sinai oath brit faith.
Tehillim 33:6 – “By the word of Hashem the heavens were made.” This precedent interprets the בראשית Aggadic mussar which instructs that creation refers directly to the נמשל chosen Cohen people created through observance of wisdom commandments/time-oriented mitzvot. Rather than stops at the משל טיפש פשט that simply reads that God created the Universe. The latter fails to discern Av wisdom commandments which require k’vanna and define the korban of Hevel from positive and negative commandments which resemble the korban of Cain which does not require k’vanna.
Isaiah 40:26: God calls the stars out “by name,” another משל\נמשל mussar. Wisdom commandments also commonly referred to as time-oriented commandments – a מלאכה rather than a עבודה. The ancient Greek language cannot and does not discern the subtle distinction which separates the two distinct verbs. Talmud defines understanding as “the discernment between like from like”.
Common labor/עבודה in no wise compares to skilled labor/מלאכה. This latter verb closely resembles the language of מלאך\מלאכים. The reference to “stars” called out by name reflect a fundamental shift where prior to the Bavil g’lut Angels did not have specific particular names whereas post Bavil g’lut the later T’NaCH sources started to refer to Angels with direct names. HaShem sent Moshe described as an Angel to Par’o. Yaacov sent an “angel” to his brother Esau and wrestled with the “angel” of Esau, remembered through the mitzva of not eating the gid ha-nasheh.
Wisdom commandments as a נמשל interpretation can “create” the chosen Cohen people by means of sending מלאכים created by wisdom commandments. Herein the prophetic mussar of Isaiah 40:26. Tehillim 33:10–11 – “Hashem foils the counsel of nations”, supports this key Torah theme. Isaiah 8:10: “Devise a plan, but it will be foiled.” Jeremiah 18:7–10: God reshapes nations based on their moral behavior. Following the Shoah arose Israel from g’lut as an Independent nation to the absolute chagrin of England and Europe.
Tehillim 33:13–15 “From heaven He observes all humankind”, follows this central theme. In similar vein Proverbs 15:3: “The eyes of Hashem are everywhere”, and Job 34:21: “His eyes are upon a man’s ways”. Tehillim 33:16–17 “A king is not saved by his army”, likewise interprets the blessing/curse Torah brit. The strength of a horse can do nothing to stop the plague of Torah curses when our people assimilate and intermarry with Goyim and therein worship other Gods. Zechariah 4:6: “Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit”, and Hosea 1:7: God saves “not by bow or sword” likewise validates the Torah blessing/curse oath brit.
Tehillim 33 appears in some Jewish communities in Kabbalat Shabbat – the Av wisdom commandment which discerns repeatedly מלאכה מלאכה מלאכה. The Ashkenazic Pesukei d’Zimra introduces the distinction between a ברכה מן השבח; the former opens with ברוך שאמר which contains שם ומלכות. Tehillim, for example, all lack שם ומלכות. The central k’vanna of the Siddur absolutely requires that for a person to sanctify any wisdom commandment that that person possess the “chosen” eye which discerns that ברכות as תולדות follow the “fear of heaven” required to swear a Torah oath. Whereas a שבח, contrasts to ברכות by remembering that HaShem rejected the First-born Cain’s korban as but an unworthy “barbeque to heaven”/no k’vanna mitzva. This rejection of a korban lacking k’vanna compares to HaShem and the rejection of king Shaul as Moshiach after he failed to sanctify the time-oriented commandment to kill Amalek.
Selected Verses of Selichot likewise hold portions of Tehillim 33. This Tehillem no superscription “Of David,” etc. The Talmud instructs that a Torah sages merits greater respect than a king. Any person of Israel can rule the nation as King. Moshe first anointed the House of Aaron as “king”. Shmuel first anointed Shaul as “king”. The chosen first Cohen born not determined by order of birth טיפש פשט. A Torah sage 1:10,000. Hence the Torah sage merits respect whereas arrogant and foolish “kings” through their assimilation and intermarriage filled the land with oppression and injustice as did Par’o in Egypt.
