Psalms 106:1
[(Title.)]
As part of the preceding Psalm is found in 1 Ch ch. 16, so the first and two last verses of this are found in the same place; and it is highly probable this was composed upon the same occasion as the former, to which it seems to be a continuation; for as that celebrates the mercies of God to Israel, so this confesses and deplores the rebellions of Israel against Jehovah.
Praise <01984 03050> [Praise ye the Lord. Heb. Hallelujah.]
Give thanks <03034> [O give.]
good <02896> [for he.]
Psalms 107:8

give thanks <03034> [praise.]
amazing <06381> [his wonderful.]
Psalms 107:15
Psalms 111:1
Praise ... Lord ........ Lord <01984 03050 03068> [A.M. 3468. B.C. 536. Praise ye the Lord. Heb. Hallelujah.]
As this is an alphabetical Psalm, every member of each verse beginning consecutively with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Hallelujah, which begins with the fifth, must be considered as the title.
give thanks <03034> [I will.]
assembly <05475> [assembly.]
Psalms 112:1
Praise ... Lord .......... Lord <01984 03050 03068> [Praise ye the Lord. Heb. Hallelujah.]
This is another of the alphabetical Psalms, being formed exactly as the preceding in the division of its verses; and, like it, was probably composed for the use of the Jews, after their return from captivity.
blessed <0835> [Blessed.]
delight <02654> [delighteth.]
Psalms 113:1
[(Title.)]
This and the following five Psalms form what is called by the Hebrews the great Hallel, or praise; which was sung on their most solemn festivals, and particularly after the celebration of the Passover. (See Mt 26:30. Mr 24:26.) This and the following were probably composed after the return from the captivity.
Praise ... Lord Praise ....... praise <01984 03050> [Praise ye the Lord. Heb. Hallelujah.]
Praise .... Praise ... servants ..... praise <01984 05650> [Praise, O.]
Psalms 117:1-2
[(Title.)]
This Psalm, the shortest in the whole collection, is written as a part of the preceding in thirty-two MSS.: it celebrates the deliverance from the Babylonian captivity, the grand type of the redemption of the world by the Messiah.
Praise <01984> [O praise.]
Applaud ..... foreigners <07623 0523> [praise him.]
Psalms 150:6
breath <05397> [Let every thing.]
CONCLUDING REMARKS ON THE BOOK OF PSALMS. The Psalms have been the general song of the universal Church; and in their praise, all the Fathers have been unanimously eloquent. Men of all nations find in these compositions a language at once suitable to their feelings, and expressive of their highest joys and deepest sorrows, as well as of all the endlessly varied wishes and desires of their hearts. Whether the pious believer is disposed to indulge the exalted sentiments of praise and thanksgiving towards the ALMIGHTY FATHER of his being; to pour out his soul in penitence or prayer; to bewail, with tears of contrition, past offences; to magnify the goodness and mercy of GOD; to dwell with ecstacy on the divine attributes of wisdom and omnipotence; or to rejoice in the coming of the MESSIAH, the Psalms afford him the most perfect models for expressing all his feelings.
