This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Title. Maschil = Instruction. The eleventh of thirteen so named. See note on Title, Psalm 32, and App-65. The title, rearranged as above, removes the difficulty of this Psalm being ascribed to two different writers.
Heman. Celebrated for wisdom (with Ethan, 89), 1Ki_4:31. 1Ch_6:33, 1Ch_6:44; 1Ch_25:4. He was a Kohathite, while Ethan was a Merarite. See App-63and App-64.
Ezrahite. Put for Zerahite. Probably the name of a district. Compare the case of Elkanah (1Sa_1:1.
The Psalm is prophetic of Messiah's humiliation, corresponding with Psalm 86. See the Structure, p. 789.
LORD. Hebrew. Jehovah. App-4).
