am 2962, bc 1042 (Title), This Psalm was probably composed by David after Nathan's prophetic address; and sung by alternate choirs at some public festival. It largely partakes of David's spirit, and everywhere shews the hand of a master; the style is grand and sublime; the subject noble and majestic. "O give thanksª° unto the LORD;ª for¹ [he is] good:ª for¹ his mercyª [endureth] for ever.ª" {Psa 118:29} + "But the mercyª of the LORDª [is] from everlastingª¹ toª everlastingª upon¹ them that fearª him, and his righteousnessª unto children'sª children;ª" {Psa 103:17} + "Praiseª° ye the LORD.ª O give thanksª° unto the LORD;ª for¹ [he is] good:ª for¹ his mercyª [endureth] for ever.ª" {Psa 106:1} + "O give thanksª° unto the LORD,ª for¹ [he is] good:ª for¹ his mercyª [endureth] for ever.ª" {Psa 107:1} + "O give thanksª° unto the LORD;ª for¹ [he is] good:ª for¹ his mercyª [endureth] for ever.ª" {Psa 136:1} + "Give thanksª° unto the LORD,ª callª° upon his name,ª make knownª° his deedsª among the people.ª" {1Ch 16:8} + "O give thanksª° unto the LORD;ª for¹ [he is] good;ª for¹ his mercyª [endureth] for ever.ª" {1Ch 16:34} + "The voiceª of joy,ª and the voiceª of gladness,ª the voiceª of the bridegroom,ª and the voiceª of the bride,ª the voiceª of them that shall say,ª° Praiseª°¹ the LORDª of hosts:ª for¹ the LORDª [is] good;ª for¹ his mercyª [endureth] for ever:ª [and] of them that shall bringª° the sacrifice of praiseª into the houseª of the LORD.ª For¹ I will cause to returnª°¹ the captivityª of the land,ª as at the first,ª saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 33:11}
