Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
These two verses form the concluding summary of THE FIRST PART of the psalm, wherein David has set forth both what God has done and what God is. It appropriately takes the form of a song of thanksgiving.
Verse 11. Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion. Therefore by this time the tabernacle and ark had been removed to Zion from Baale, or Kirjath-jearim, and then from the house of Obed-Edom (2 Samuel 6:2; 2 Samuel 6:12; 2 Samuel 6:17). There is no "in" in the Hebrew. It is literally, 'who, enthrones Zion,' or 'makes Zion His habitation.'
Declare among the people (literally, peoples) his doings - literally, His counsels and the events of them х `ªliylowtaayw (H5949)]; i:e., His workings. Compare Jeremiah 32:19, "Great is counsel and mighty is work."
Verse 12. When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them - Hebrew, 'bloods.' Thus "them" daughter of Zion. Cities are poetically represented as virgins, Isaiah 37:22.
I will rejoice - or, continuing the "that" from the previous clause х lªma`an (H4616)], 'that I may rejoice in thy salvation.' So the Syriac and Arabic. The Chaldaic, Septuagint, and Vulgate support the English version.
