Verse 1. God. This characterizes the Jewish legislator. Bert. Deuteronomy 33:1. D.—David composed it in his name, ( Menochius.) or it bears some analogy with his writings. S. Jerom maintains, that he was the author of the nine following psalms, ( Calmet.) which have no title in Hebrew Tirinus.—But Saint Augustine thinks they would then have formed a part of the pentateuch. Calmet.—The life of man was longer in the days of Moses than seventy or eighty years. Bell. verse 10.—Moses cannot be the author of the 94th and 95th psalms. Worthington.—In the 98:6. Samuel is mentioned, and it is not necessary to haver recourse to the prophetic spirit. One of the descendants of Moses, during the captivity, may have been the author, ( Calmet.) or David may have predicted that event. Bible.
