Context Summary

Psalm 33:1-12 - "the Word Of Jehovah"
This psalm is eminently calculated to incite praise. Let us note the subjects which are touched upon, in the hope that presently one may strike a spark at which our cold hearts shall flame up.
The words and works of Jehovah are the first to pass in review, Psalms 33:4. Let us never forget that nothing was made apart from our Lord Jesus. He is emphatically the Word through whom the creative fiat went forth, John 1:3; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2. It is good, as we contemplate the beauties and wonders of creation, to turn in praise to Him, whose parables disclose the secrets which be hid in the works of His hands. If creation proceeded by the stages of evolution, it was due to His initiative and under His superintendence.
Note the vivid touches with which the work of creation is described in Psalms 33:6-9. Then turn to the description of God's providential government, Psalms 33:10-12. We are said to be God's inheritance. See Psalms 33:12. Ephesians 1:11 also tells us that we inherit Him, and Psalms 33:18 that He inherits us. Bring every inch of us under thy tillage, Great Occupier! [source]
