EXPLANATION

Verse 1. Himself. This is the most difficult of all the psalms, ( Calmet.) crux ingeniorum. Muis.—The prodigies wrought by God in favour of his people, when they came out of Egypt, and conquered the land of Chanaan, are described by David in this triumphal canticle, which was sung when the ark was removed. Houbig.—He had also in view the greater prodigies, which should attend Jesus Christ, and the propagation of the gospel. The latter explanation is also literal, (Bert.) and is given by the Fathers, ( Calmet.) on the authority of Saint Paul, verse 19. Ephes. 4:8. Bible.
