Contextual Overview

¹² Blessed is the nation that hath God to be their Lorde: that people hath he chosen to be an inheritaunce for him. ¹³ God looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the chyldren of men ¹⁴ from the place where he resteth: he eyeth diligently euery dweller on the earth. ¹⁵ He fashioneth their heartes together: he vnderstandeth al their workes. ¹⁶ A king is not saued by the multitude of an hoast: a man of great myght escapeth not by much strength. ¹⁷ A horse for to saue is vanitie: and he can deliuer none by his great strength. ¹⁸ Beholde, the eye of God is vpon them that feare hym: and vpon them that wayteth after his mercy. ¹⁹ To deliuer their soules from death: and to preserue their liues in dearth. ²⁰ Our soule wayteth after God: he is our ayde and shielde. ²¹ For our heart shall reioyce in him: because we haue put our trust in his holy name.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Our soul waiteth for the Lord,.... This, and what follows, are the words of the church, expressing her expectation, faith, and joy, by reason of what is suggested in the preceding verses. She signifies her expectation of good by waiting for the Lord; either for his coming in the flesh, and salvation by him; for which the patriarchs, prophets, and all the Old Testament saints, waited,

Genesis 49:18; and so the Targum paraphrases it, "our soul waiteth for the redemption of the Lord"; or for his spiritual coming, his appearance to them, and gracious presence with them, he having been for some time absent; and it is right and good so to do, and in the issue proves advantageous, Isaiah 8:17; and this being soul waiting, it denotes the heartiness, sincerity, and earnestness of it;

he [is] our help and our shield; the Lord is the help of his people in time of trouble, when none else is or can be; and he is a present one, and helps right early, and at the best season: and he is their shield, who encompasses them about with his love and favour, and keeps them by his power in the greatest safety; all which encourages their waiting upon him, and expectation of good things from him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Our soul waiteth for the Lord - This and the subsequent verses to the end of the psalm refer to the people of God, expressing their faith in him in view of the considerations suggested in the former part of the psalm. The language is expressive of the general character of piety. True piety leads people to wait on the Lord; to depend on Him; to look to His interposition in danger, sickness, poverty, want; to rely upon Him for all that is hoped for in this life, and for salvation in the life to come. Compare Psalms 62:1; Psalms 25:3.

He is our help - Our aid; our helper. Compare Psalms 10:14; Psalms 22:11; Psalms 30:10.

And our shield - See the notes at Psalms 5:12. That is, He will defend us from our enemies, as if He threw His shield between us and them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 33:20. Our soul waiteth — Our whole life is employed in this blessed work; we trust in nothing but him; neither in multitudes of armed men, nor in natural strength, nor in the fleetest animals, nor in any thing human: we trust in Him alone "who is our help and our shield."
