Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary
His praiseworthiness (c) as the irresistible Ruler in the history of men. Since in Sa2 15:34; Sa2 17:14, and frequently, הפר עצה is a common phrase, therefore heepiyr as in Psa 89:34, Eze 17:19, is equivalent to הפר (Ges. ֗67, rem. 9). The perfects are not used in the abstract, but of that which has been experienced most recently, since the "new song" presupposes new matter. With Psa 33:11 compare Pro 19:21. The עצת of God is the unity of the "thoughts of His heart," i.e., of the ideas, which form the inmost part, the ultimate motives of everything that takes place. The whole history of the world is the uninterrupted carrying out of a divine plan of salvation, the primary object of which is His people, but in and with these are included humanity at large.

In God's providence He thwarts men's purposes and executes His own. heathen--literally, "nations."
John Gill Bible Commentary
The Lord bringeth the counsel of the Heathen to nought,.... The psalmist having taken notice of the works of creation, in order to excite the saints to praise, proceeds to observe the providence of God, and particularly that branch of it which lies in disappointing the designs of wicked men; it is wickedness which they consult and devise, and thin is against the Lord's people, his cause and interest, and so against himself; and though their schemes are formed and contrived with a great deal of subtlety, yet they are commonly blasted; whether laid by particular persons, as by Ahithophel against David; or by nations, whole bodies of men, as of the Egyptians and Assyrians against Israel; and of Jews and Gentiles against Christ and his cause; he maketh the devices of the people of none effect; the same thing is expressed here as before, in different words, for the further confirmation of it, and that it might be attended to. This is the Lord's doing, he is omniscient, and knows all the secret plots and designs of men; and he is omnipotent, and counteracts them, and confounds them in all their measures; and is faithful to his people, cause, and interest.

Psalms 33:10
Praise to the Creator
9For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm. 10The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples. 11The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.

The sermon titled 'Does Your Jesus Shine in the Dark?' from Matthew chapter 23 emphasizes the importance of opening our hearts to the true Jesus, not a self-crafted version, to experience His light and power in the midst of darkness.

A Few Hints to Them That Are Sanctified
By William Gadsby0PSA 33:10ISA 57:152CO 3:182CO 4:6GAL 6:14EPH 1:4EPH 3:18William Gadsby emphasizes the importance of recognizing the sacredness and perfection of God's Word, cautioning against misinterpreting Scripture to fit personal agendas or diminish the glory of the immutable God. He highlights the folly of those who attempt to limit God's sovereignty and eternal blessings, urging believers to humbly submit to the incomprehensible nature of God's will. Gadsby warns against the dangers of pride and self-exaltation, stressing the need for true Christians to find their glory solely in the cross of Jesus Christ and to seek a deep understanding of God's unfathomable love and glory.
The Knowledge of Jesus Christ the Best Knowledge. (1 Cor. 2:2)
By George Whitefield0DEU 32:28PSA 33:10PRO 1:25ISA 11:2EPH 1:11The preacher delves into the meaning of 'boule' in the Bible, emphasizing that it signifies a decision or plan resulting from inner deliberation, often reflecting God's heart of infinite love. Boule is used over 100 times in the Septuagint, representing weighty preconsideration, counsel, and the purpose of God, which is unchangeable and trustworthy. The sermon explores how boule is employed in various contexts, including God's will and human intentions, highlighting the importance of seeking God's counsel and aligning our plans with His purpose.
Fear Not
By Warren Wiersbe0DEU 20:8PSA 33:10ISA 41:10MAT 8:26Warren Wiersbe delivers a sermon on overcoming fear by emphasizing the detrimental effects of fear, such as paralysis and discouragement. He draws parallels from President Franklin D. Roosevelt's famous quote and highlights the importance of faith over fear, citing Matthew 8:26. Wiersbe uses Nehemiah's leadership as an example, showing how preparedness, unity, and trust in the Lord can dispel fear and deter the enemy. By focusing on God's strength and sovereignty, Wiersbe encourages listeners to stand firm without fear, knowing that God's plans will prevail, as seen in Psalms 33:10-11.
Neither the Devil nor His Imps
By Thomas Brooks0Protection of BelieversGod's SovereigntyPSA 33:10Thomas Brooks emphasizes that no plans or schemes of the devil or his followers can succeed against God's people, as the Lord's purposes are unshakeable and eternal. He reassures believers that God's constant presence provides protection and guidance, rendering the plots of the wicked powerless. Brooks illustrates this truth by referencing biblical figures like Balaam and Herod, who ultimately failed against God's will. The sermon encourages faith in God's sovereignty and the assurance that His presence is a shield against all adversities. Ultimately, the message is one of hope and security for those who trust in the Lord.
