* A.M. 2962. B.C. 1042. (Title.)
It appears from 1Ch ch. 16, where the former part of this
Psalm, as far as the 16th verse, is found with little
variation, that David composed it at the removal of the ark to
Mount Zion, and he himself probably enlarged it afterwards
with the glorious detail of God's merciful dealings with
Abraham and his posterity till their settlement in the land of
Promise. The Hallelujah, which terminates the preceding
Psalm, is made the title of this by the Septuagint, Vulgate,
Arabic, and Ethiopic; and the Syriac considers it a paraphrase
on the words, "Fear not, Jacob, to go down into Egypt;" "and
teaches us spiritually not to fear when we are obliged to
contend with devils; for God is our shield, and will fight for
us."
