ILLUSTRATIONS on the CXVIII. PSALM.
The Psalm seems to have been pronounced at first, in some solemn Assembly of all the People assembled for the Praises of God. And Interpreters have thought, they all had a part in the Psalm. The greatest part was uttered by David; — Then coming in Procession to the Gates of the Talernacle he calls (V. 19.) upon the Porters, to open them unto him, that he might praise GOD in the San•iu•ry, He does is accordingly, first, in the very entrance; (V. 20.) and then in the Courts of the House of God. (V. 21.) After all which the People shout, and magnify the Di••ne Goodness, in making him who had met with such Indignities in the late Reign, their King (V. 22.) And then the Priests come forth, and bless both the King, and the People, in the Name of the Lord; (V. 20) and exhort them to be thankful. (V. 2•.) David then seems to take the Words out of their Mouth, and to ••hre that be will be never unmindful of the Benefi• •• God; and to desire, that all the People also would Remember them.
