[Psalms 117](/study/psalms/117) [Psalms 119](/study/psalms/119) ## Commentary To verse 1 am 2962, bc 1042 - Title This Psalm was probably composed by David after Nathan's prophetic address; and sung by alternate choirs at some public festival. It largely partakes of David's spirit, and everywhere shews the hand of a master; the style is grand and sublime; the subject noble and majestic.
