[!note]- PREFACE. Of the returning, etc…
This is in the Greek and Latin, but not in the Hebrew. It signifies that this psalm was proper to be sung at the time of the return of the people from their captivity; to inculcate to them, how happy they might be, if they would be constant in the service of God. Commentary on the Old Testament (1752)
