Like the book as a whole, the final two chapters of 2 Samuel are Bitter-Sweet.

Psalm 33 teaches us how to praise, to rejoice, and to hope in the Lord.

The nation of Israel has rebelled against the Lord in creating and worshipping the golden calf. Moses intercedes for the people, invoking God's mercy and requesting to see God's glory. God reveals himself as merciful, gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.
