Psalms 108:1

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 108

A Song [or] Psalm of David. This psalm consists of several passages out of the fifty seventh and sixtieth psalms, with very little variation. Jarchi and Kimchi refer it to the times of the Messiah. The title in the Syriac version is,

"concerning the calling of the Gentiles,''

to which, no doubt, it has respect.

Ver. 1. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise,.... From hence to Ps 108:6 the words are taken out of Ps 57:7, which see.
