Psal. CXLVII.16. He giveth Snow like Wool.
THERE are Five Psalms which begin and end with the word Hallelujah; that some have styled the Hallelujatical Psalms. This is one of them. As for the Penman of it, there is nothing certain to be fixed on. Some have thought it was written by Nehemiah; on occasion of the Re-building the City of Jerusalem. The Seventy Greek Interpreters, suppose that the Prophet Haggai, or Zechariah were the Penmen of it, whose Names are in their Translation prefixed to it. But they are not in the Hebrew Original, therefore neither may we affirm them to be the Authors ⟨p. 70⟩of it. As for the matter of it, it is Hortatory. The Psalmist does call first upon all in General, and then upon Jerusalem in Special, to Praise the Lord. Several Arguments are mentioned as Inducements thereunto.
1. Those Temporal Blessings that God had Graciously favoured them with. In that their City Gates were set up & made strong, and that their Children, that is to say, the Inhabitants of the City were blessed and increased, and that Peace & Plenty was restored to them after much Trouble.
