1 David in his prayer commends unto God the religious care he had for the ark
8 His prayer at the removing of the ark
11 With a repetition of God's promises

A.M. 2962 B.C. 1042. A Song of Degrees. Some attribute this Psalm to Solomon; and others refer it to the building of the second temple; but it seems more probable that it was sung at the solemn induction of the ark into the tabernacle of Mount Zion, expressing the holy joy and triumph of that event.
