33 For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
33 The Lord hears the needy and does not despise his captive people.
33 For the Lord hears the needy and does not despise his own people who are prisoners.
33 For God listens to the poor, He doesn't walk out on the wretched.
33 For the Lord hears the poor, And does not despise His prisoners.
33 For the Lord hears the cries of the needy; he does not despise his imprisoned people.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 69:33
Commentary on Psalm 69:30-36
(Read Psalm 69:30-36)
The psalmist concludes the psalm with holy joy and praise, which he began with complaints of his grief. It is a great comfort to us, that humble and thankful praises are more pleasing to God than the most costly, pompous sacrifices. The humble shall look to him, and be glad; those that seek him through Christ shall live and be comforted. God will do great things for the gospel church, in which let all who wish well to it rejoice. A seed shall serve him on earth, and his servants shall inherit his heavenly kingdom. Those that love his name shall dwell before him for ever. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Arise, thou great Restorer of the ancient places to dwell in, and turn away ungodliness from thy people.
