118:5 The psalmist by his experience shews how good it is to trust in God;
118:19 Under the type of the psalmist the coming of Christ in his kingdom is expressed. Verse 1am 2962, bc 1042 TitleThis Psalm was probably composed by David after Nathan's prophetic address; and sung by alternate choirs at some public festival.
