19 An exhortation to bless God

A.M. 3000, B.C. 1004. Bp. Patrick supposes this to be the morning hymn which the precentor called upon the Levites to sing at the opening of the gates of the temple, as the foregoing was sung at the shutting in the evening; but it is more probable that it was composed by Solomon, to be sung at the dedication of the temple.

praise ye the Lord Ps 33:1,2 96:1-4 106:1 107:8,15 111:1 112:1 113:1 117:1 150:6

O ye servants Ps 113:1 134:1 149:1-3

2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

the courts Ps 92:13 96:8 116:19

3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

for the Lord Ps 106:1 107:1 118:1 119:68 136:1 145:7,8 Mt 19:17

for it is Ps 33:1 63:5 92:1,2 147:1

4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

the Lord Ps 33:12 De 7:6,7 10:15 1Sa 12:22 Isa 41:8 43:20,21 Zec 2:10-12 1Pe 2:9

his peculiar Ex 19:5,6 De 32:9 Mal 3:17 Tit 2:14

5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

he maketh lightnings. Dr. Russel informs us that seldom a night passes at Aleppo without much lightning in the north-west, but not attended with thunder; and when it appears in the west or south-western points, it is a sure sign of the approaching rain, which is often followed with thunder. Job 38:25 28:25,26 38:24-28

he bringeth Ps 107:25 148:8 Job 38:22,23 Jon 1:4 Joh 3:8

thy name Ps 8:9 72:17 102:12,21 Ex 3:15 34:5-7 Ho 12:5 Mt 6:9,13

throughout all generations. Heb. to generations and generations Ps 89:1

14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

the Lord Ps 7:8 50:4 96:13
