1 David praises God for the truth of his word
4 He prophesies that the kings of the earth shall praise God
7 He professes his confidence in God

A.M. 3485, B.C. 519. A Psalm of David. Five MSS. omit ledawid; and the Lxx, and Arabic prefix also the names of Haggai and Zechariah; and it is probable that it was composed to be sung at the dedication of the second temple.
