Psalms 105:1

105:1

[A.M. 2962. B.C. 1042. (Title.)]

It appears from 1Ch ch. 16, where the former part of this Psalm, as far as the 16th verse, is found with little variation, that David composed it at the removal of the ark to Mount Zion, and he himself probably enlarged it afterwards with the glorious detail of God's merciful dealings with Abraham and his posterity till their settlement in the land of Promise. The Hallelujah, which terminates the preceding Psalm, is made the title of this by the Septuagint, Vulgate, Arabic, and Ethiopic; and the Syriac considers it a paraphrase on the words, "Fear not, Jacob, to go down into Egypt;" "and teaches us spiritually not to fear when we are obliged to contend with devils; for God is our shield, and will fight for us."

Psalms 9:1-20

9:1

alumoth-labben <04192> [A.M. 2941. B.C. 1063. (Title.) Muthlabben.]

Probably, "the death of the champion:" so the Chaldee has, "A Psalm of David, to be sung concerning the death of the man who went out between ({mibbeyney}) the camps;" evidently considering {labben,} of the same import as {bainayim,} "a middle-man or champion," as Goliath is termed, 1 Sa 17:4, concerning whose defeat this psalm is generally supposed to have been composed.
