EXPLANATION

Verse 1. For David, is not in Hebrew nor in some copies of the Septuagint Calmet.—Yet the psalm expresses the sentiments of the royal prophet, (Bert.) or it is a sequel to the two former, thanking God for liberty, and for rain. The Fathers explain it of the coming of Jesus Christ, and the calling of the Gentiles, verse 5. It many have been sung when the first-fruits were brought to the temple. See Psalms 84. Calmet.
