IT has been conjectured, that this was the morning hymn, which the precentor called upon the Levites to sing at opening the gates of the temple, as the former was sung at the shutting up of the gates in the evening. Some imagine from Psalms 135:13 compared with Exodus 12:14 that it was a paschal hymn, and the contents of the psalm seem to countenance that opinion.
