The Psalmist exhorteth to praise God: he prayeth for pardon of sin: the history of the people's rebellion, and God's mercy: he concludeth with prayer and praise.
הללויה halleluiah.
THE first, and the two last verses of this psalm, are given us as David's in 1 Chronicles 16. It is therefore most probable, that the whole of it was composed by him; particularly as the subject is very similar to that of the preceding psalm: only that here, besides commemorating God's mercies towards their forefathers, he reproves the Israelites for the ungrateful return they made. Mudge, however, thinks that the psalm was composed during the captivity: an opinion which is much countenanced by the fourth and fifth verses.
