Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests, etc.] These were appointed to blow with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; morning and evening. Ver. 7-34. Then on that day, etc.] The ark was brought to Zion, and the above persons appointed to minister before it: David delivered first this psalm to thank the Lord into the hand of Asaph and his brethren to be sung by them now, and on every proper occasion; and this seems to be the first that was delivered to them; afterwards there were many more, as the titles of the psalms show; the following is composed of part of two others, as they now stand in the book of Psalms. From hence, to the end of (<131622>1 Chronicles 16:22) is the same with (<19A501>Psalm 105:1-15), with a little variation, see the notes there; and from thence to the end of (<131633>1 Chronicles 16:33) is (<199601>Psalm 96:1-13) which see; and (<131634>1 Chronicles 16:34) is the same with (<19A601>Psalm 106:1 107:1), <19A601> see the notes there. <19A701> <19A501> Ver. 35,36.
