As this psalm belongs to the same general occasion of the four preceding, it is unnecessary to say any thing further on that subject, except that it would seem, from Psalms 150:1, to date after the orderly restoration of the temple service. It is noticeable that the psalmist calls to the praise of God ten times the number of completeness included between the opening and closing call, “Praise ye Yah,” or Jehovah, and the declarative form of the verb, All that breathe shall praise the... read more
1. As the theme is praise, the psalm opens with a very specific designation of the Being to be praised. Two titles are given. First, Praise ye יה , ( Yah,) or Jehovah the name of God as in covenant with his people.

In Psalms 30:11, it seems evidently used in a figurative sense for joy, and the same in Lamentations 5:15. Jeremiah 31:4; Jeremiah 31:13, might also be taken in the same sense. The same noun in the feminine ( מחולה ) is more commonly taken in the literal sense of dancing, or, as the etymology... read more
5. Loud cymbals The idea is, cymbals giving a clear, distinct sound, causing a distinct hearing literally, cymbals of hearing. High sounding cymbals Literally, cymbals of shouting, clanging cymbals. The difference between the two is simply in the volume of sound they are adapted to give forth. The Hebrew music was noisy and strong, but this occasion exceeded all others. read more
