A Psalm.** Hebrew. *mizmor.* App-65 . **Song.** Hebrew. *shir.* App-65 . **of Asaph** = by Asaph. The fifth of the twelve Asaph Psalms.

The Structure is determined by the two Selahs; and points to the historic event, the taking of Jebus by David ([2 Samuel 5:4-9](../../../kjv/2-samuel/5/4-9) ) 960B.C. **Judah.** Great emphasis on the locality. Note the three terms, Judah, Salem, Zion, and "there" ([Psalms 76:3](../../../kjv/psalms/76/3) ). **God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* App-4 . **known** = made known, or making Himself known. **Israel.** Named because the taking of Jebus was in connection with David's taking of the throne of Israel. **Salem.** The ancient Jebusite name for Jerusalem.

Zion had no place in history till this event. **There.** Emphatic. Hebrew. *sham* . Compare [Genesis 2:8](../../../kjv/genesis/2/8) . [Exodus 40:3](../../../kjv/exodus/40/3) (therein). [Deuteronomy 1:39](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/1/39) (thither). [2 Chronicles 6:11](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/6/11) (in it). **brake He** = hath He broken in pieces. **battle.** Put by Figure of speech *Metonymy* (of Adjunct), for other weapons used in battle. **Selah.** Connecting the Jebusite defeat with God Who gave it; and passing on from the third person to the second. See App-66 . Note the emphasis on "Thou". **mountains of prey.** The great mountain (Zion) which had become a prey: i.e. a prey seized, as in next verse; the mighty men bad become a spoil, or been plundered. **none . . . found their hands.** Idiom for helplessness.

See App-66 . **man.** Hebrew. *'adam.* App-14 . **pay unto.** Figure of speech *Ellipsis* ( App-6 ) = "pay [thy vows] unto". **the LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 . **presents.** Plural of majesty: i.e. a great or ceremonial present. **spirit.** Hebrew. *ruach* .
