Heman and Ethan were brothers, endued with an excellent spirit of prophecy and wisdom, wherein they were compared with Solomon, 1 Kings 4.31. Heman was the author that composed and made this Psalm, and Ethan the next Psalm, and committed them to be sung and played to the sons of Corah, to the chief of that company, upon Mahalath-Leannoth, which was the beginning of a song, after which he would have the Psalm sung, as some think, or else some instrument to which he would have the tune of it played and sung; and for the excellency of the matter contained therein, would have them preserved for a form of complaint unto the Church, in any private or singular distress (as in this Psalm) or in the time of affliction, or in persecution of Church or Commonwealth (as in the next.)
