Psalms 33:6

“By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, etc.] The aerial and starry heavens, and the heaven of heavens, the third heaven, the seat of the divine Majesty, and the habitation of angels and glorified saints; these were “made” even out of nothing, not out of any pre-existent matter, nor were they eternal; and being made are creatures, and so not to be worshipped, neither they nor their hosts after mentioned; angels, sun, moon, and stars; these were made by the Word of God, the essential Word of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, who often goes by this name, (<430101>John 1:1,14 <580412>Hebrews 4:12 <620507>1 John 5:7 <661913>Revelation 19:13); and very fitly agrees with him, who spoke for all…”

“In "word" and "breath"--or, "spirit," there may be an allusion to the Son (Joh 1:1) and Holy Spirit.”

“By the word of the Lord - By the command of God: Genesis 1:3, Genesis 1:6 etc. See the notes at Psalms 33:9. Were the heavens made - That is, the starry heavens; the worlds above us: Genesis 1:1. And all the host of them - All their “armies.” The stars are represented as armies or marshalled hosts, led forth at his command, and under his direction - as armies are led forth in war. See Genesis 2:1; compare the notes at Isaiah 1:9. By the breath of his mouth - By his word or command - as our words issue from our mouths with our breath. The idea here is, that God is the Creator of all things; and, as such, has a claim to praise; or, that as Creator he is entitled to adoration. To this he is…”

“The word - God made this admirable structure of the heavens, and all its glorious stars; not with great pains and time, but with one single word. Host - The angels: or the stars. Psalms 33:7”

“By the: Psa 33:9, Psa 148:1-5; Gen 1:1, Gen 6:7; Joh 1:1-3; Heb 11:3; Pe2 3:5 the host: Psa 148:2, Psa 148:3; Gen 2:1; Deu 4:19; Jer 8:2; Rom 1:25 breath: Psa 104:30; Gen 2:7; Job 26:13, Job 33:4; Joh 20:22 Psalms 33:7”

“God's praiseworthiness (b) as the Creator of the world in the kingdom of Nature. Jahve's דּבר is His almighty "Let there be;" and רוח פּיו (inasmuch as the breath is here regarded as the material of which the word is formed and the bearer of the word) is the command, or in general, the operation of His commanding omnipotence ( Job 15:30, cf. Job 4:9; Isa 34:16, cf. Psa 11:4). The heavens above and the waters beneath stand side by side as miracles of creation. The display of His power in the waters of the sea consists in His having confined them within fixed bounds and keeping them within these. נד is a pile, i.e., a piled up heap (Arabic nadd), and more especially an inference to harvest:…”
