PSALM S.

PSALM I.

[See Notes.]

PSALM II.

PROPHETIC OF MESSIAH'S EXALTATION.

THE mention of Sion, as God's Holy Hill, in the 6th verse of this psalm, proves that Sion had that name before the Temple was built upon it. For this psalm is so expressly ascribed to David in the thanksgiving of the Christian congregation, Acts IV, 25. that I think no doubt can be entertained that he was the author of it. Sion therefore had, in David's time, the name of God's Holy Hill, either by designation, as the intended seat of the Temple, or as the place of the temporary tent in which the Ark was deposited by David.
