Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Ver. 19. Speaking to yourselves, &c.] As drunkards sing and halloo over their cups in their goodfellow meetings; so in a sober sense, do you express your spiritual jollity in psalms, &c.
Melody in your hearts unto the Lord] This is the best tune to any psalm. Spiritual songs they are called, both because they are indited by the Spirit, and because they spiritualize us in the use of them.
