**Title. A Psalm.** Hebrew. *mizmor.* App-65 .
**Song.** Hebrew. *shir.* App-65 .
**of David** = by, or relating to David and the true David.
**waiteth.** As in [Psalms 62:1](../../../kjv/psalms/62/1) . Israel's silent waiting is now passed on to Zion. All is silent there as yet.
**God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* App-4 .
**Sion.** See App-68 . David's tabernacle was there. This spelling with "S" comes through the Septuagint and Vulgate Hebrew is always "Z".

**flesh.** Put by Figure of speech *Synecdoche* (of Part), for all mankind: i.e. the people.

**Iniquities** = iniquitous words. Hebrew. *'avah.* App-44 .
**transgressions.** Hebrew. *pasha'.* App-44 .
**purge them away** = cover them by atonement.

**Blessed** = Happy. Figure of speech *Beatitudo.* App-63 .
**Thou choosest.** Only those whom He calls can truly worship. See [Leviticus 1:1](../../../kjv/leviticus/1/1) , [Leviticus 1:2](../../../kjv/leviticus/1/2) .
**courts.** Not the temple courts, but David's tabernacle on Zion.
**holy.** See note on [Exodus 3:5](../../../kjv/exodus/3/5) .
**temple.** Hebrew. *heykal =* palace.

**confidence.** Hebrew. *batah.* See App-69 .

**Which** = Who.

**the people** = peoples.

**and evening.** Supply *Ellipsis* from preceding clause: "and [the incomings of the] evening".
**to rejoice** = to shout for joy.

**river.** Hebrew. *peleg.* Always plural, except here; and always connected with a garden. See notes on [Psalms 1:3](../../../kjv/psalms/1/3) and [Proverbs 21:1](../../../kjv/proverbs/21/1) . Compare [Revelation 22:1](../../../kjv/revelation/22/1) , [Revelation 22:2](../../../kjv/revelation/22/2) .

**makest it soft** = dissolvest it. Until the early rains fall, the ground is as hard as a rock.

**To the chief Musician.** See App-64 .
