THIS Psalm was penned by a King, it is dedicated to a King, and it is chiefly intended concerning him who is King of Kings; A Psalm for Solomon, that is the Title: A Psalm containing the last breathings of David Heaven-ward, that's the conclusion, so the Psalm ends, The prayers of David the Son of Jesse ⟨p. 2⟩are ended; David being about to commend his soul to God, first commends his Son to God, and having himself like a careful Father, tutored, and instructed him, while he lived, he now commits him to the tutorage and instruction of a Father who could not dye. A Sonn• is put into safe hands indeed, when God himself is entreated to be the Guardian.
