**Title.** A Song of degrees. Same as 120 ("the degrees"). App-67 . The Structure, and the references to Hezekiah being childless ( App-67 . xiv), show that this is not a Psalm "made up of two smaller Psalms, having no connection with each other".
**for Solomon** = of or by Solomon. The central Psalm of the fifteen. Selected by Hezekiah to complete and perfect the arrangement.
**the LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 .
**the** = a.

**For so** = Thus.
**beloved** = beloved one (singular) Hebrew. *yedid.* This was Solomon's name (Jedidiah) given by Jehovah ([2 Samuel 12:25](../../../kjv/2-samuel/12/25) ). Solomon was given because David was beloved of Jehovah. Somecodices, with Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate, read plural
**sleep** = in sleep: i.e. while they sleep: i.e. without their labour. So He gave to Solomon ([1 Kings 3:5-15](../../../kjv/1-kings/3/5-15) ); to Adam ([Genesis 2:21](../../../kjv/genesis/2/21) , [Genesis 2:22](../../../kjv/genesis/2/22) ); Abraham ([Genesis 15:12](../../../kjv/genesis/15/12) , [Genesis 15:13](../../../kjv/genesis/15/13) ); Jacob ([Genesis 28:10-15](../../../kjv/genesis/28/10-15) ); Samuel ([1 Samuel 3:3](../../../kjv/1-samuel/3/3) , [1 Samuel 3:4](../../../kjv/1-samuel/3/4) ), &c.

**Lo.** Figure of speech *Asterismos.* App-6 .
**children** = sons. The reference to the fact that Hezekiah was rejoicing in Isaiah's message that he should have a son, made it a suitable Psalm for Hezekiah to select ( 2Ki 20:12 , [2 Kings 20:18](../../../kjv/2-kings/20/18) . [Isaiah 39:7](../../../kjv/isaiah/39/7) ).
**of** = from. Hence he sings Jehovah *'* s praise.

**Happy is the man.** Hezekiah was that man. See the Beatitudes. App-63 .
**man.** Hebrew. *geber.*
**They:** i.e. the sons.
**not be ashamed.** Figure of speech *Tapeinosis* ( App-6 ): quite the opposite.
**speak** = meet, whether for negotiation or for fighting.
