Psalms 135:1-12
[A.M. 3000. B.C. 1004. (Title.)]
Bp. Patrick supposes this to be the morning hymn which the precentor called upon the Levites to sing at the opening of the gates of the temple, as the foregoing was sung at the shutting in the evening; but it is more probable that it was composed by Solomon, to be sung at the dedication of the temple.
Praise ... Lord Praise ........ praise <01984 03050> [Praise ye the Lord.]

Dr. Russel informs us that seldom a night passes at Aleppo without much lightning in the north-west, but not attended with thunder; and when it appears in the west or south-western points, it is a sure sign of the approaching rain, which is often followed with thunder. See the note on Job 38:26.
