To the chief musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

Title. מזמר קרח לבני למנצח lamnatseach libnei korach mizmor. This psalm, says Bishop Patrick, is thought by some to have been composed by David, when he translated the ark to mount Sion: Others think that it was composed by some of the sons of Korah, when the ark was brought from mount Sion to Solomon's temple. The psalm, however, is supposed to have a higher sense; for, as the ark was a figure of Christ, and mount Sion of the heavens, the translation or carrying back of the ark thither may be looked upon as a figure of Christ's ascension into the high and holy place.
