This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The Sabbath is the day that God has hallowed, and that is to be consecrated to God by our turning away from the business pursuits of the working days (Isa 58:13.) and applying ourselves to the praise and adoration of God, which is the most proper, blessed Sabbath employment. It is good, i.e., not merely good in the eyes of God, but also good for man, beneficial to the heart, pleasant and blessed. Loving-kindness is designedly connected with the dawn of the morning, for it is morning light itself, which breaks through the night (Psa 30:6; Psa 59:17), and faithfulness with the nights, for in the perils of the loneliness of the night it is the best companion, and nights of affliction are the “foil of its verification.” עָשֹׂור beside נֶבֶל (נֵבֶל) is equivalent to נֵבֶל עָשֹׂור in Psa 33:2; Psa 144:9 : the ten-stringed harp or lyre. הִגָּיֹון is the music of stringed instruments (vid., on Psa 9:17), and that, since הגה in itself is not a suitable word for the rustling (strepitus) of the strings, the impromptu or phantasia playing (in Amo 6:5, scornfully, פָּרַט), which suits both Psa 9:17 (where it is appended to the forte of the interlude) and the construction with Beth instrumenti.
