Overview

Excerpt from The Book of Psalms: With an Explanatory and Critical Commentary Each of these five books has very dis tinct characteristics. The first contains 41 psalms: one of these is introductory, and may have been prefixed together with the second, when the original col lection was made, not improbably by Solomon himself, or by one of the School of Levites: two others, the roth and g3rd, have no inscription; the roth, as it would seem, being a continuation of the 9th psalm the 3grd, for some un known reason, it may be by an accident in transcription: thirty-seven are assigned to David; an assignment which, as will be shewn in the following notes, is in most cases sufficiently justified by in ternal evidence. The name Jehovah is used constantly, though not exclusively, throughout this book. The second book has thirty-one psalms, xlii - lxxn. The first seven are attributed to the sons of Korah, or eight, if we include the 4grd - which, however, is a second part of the 4audz one, the soth, to Asaph; eighteen to David; two are anonymous, lxvi. Lxvii (see notes); and one is ascribed to Solo mon. In this book the inscriptions are remarkable for the general fulness of the historical notices. The name Elohim occurs so frequently as to be a marked characteristic. The doxology at the close of Ps. Lxxii. Combines the two names, Elohim and Jehovah, in a form which may possibly have been intended to point out the characteristics of both books.
