Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:33

Verse 33. He turneth rivers into a wilderness ] After having, as above, illustrated the state of the Jews in their captivity, and the deliverance which God wrought for them, he now turns to the general conduct of God in reference to the poor and needy; and his gracious Interpositions in their behalf, the providential supply of their wants, and his opposition to their oppressors. On account of the wickedness of men, he sometimes changes a fruitful land into a desert. See the general state of Egypt in the present time: once a fertile land; now an arid, sandy wilderness. Again, by his blessing on honest industry, he has changed deserts into highly fertile ground. And, as for the wickedness of their inhabitants, many lands are cursed and rendered barren; so, when a people acknowledge him in all their ways, he blesses their toil, gives them rain and fruitful seasons, and fills their hearts with joy and gladness.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 33-43 - What surprising changes are often made in the affairs of men! Let the present desolate state of Judea, and of other countries, explain this If we look abroad in the world, we see many greatly increase, whose beginning was small. We see many who have thus suddenly risen, a suddenly brought to nothing. Worldly wealth is uncertain; often thos who are filled with it, ere they are aware, lose it again. God has man ways of making men poor. The righteous shall rejoice. It shall full convince all those who deny the Divine Providence. When sinners see ho justly God takes away the gifts they have abused, they will not have word to say. It is of great use to us to be fully assured of God' goodness, and duly affected with it. It is our wisdom to mind our duty and to refer our comfort to him. A truly wise person will treasure in his heart this delightful psalm. From it, he will fully understand the weakness and wretchedness of man, and the power and loving-kindness of God, not for our merit, but for his mercy's sake __________________________________________________________________
