Commentary on Psalms 141

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown's verse-by-verse commentary on Psalms 141, from Commentary Critical and Explanatory. Read it alongside the full text of the chapter.

This and the remaining Psalms have been represented as specially designed to celebrate the rebuilding of Jerusalem (compare Neh 6:16; Neh 12:27). They all open and close with the stirring call for praise. This one specially declares God's providential care towards all creatures, and particularly His people. (Psa. 147:1-20)

(Compare Psa 92:1; Psa 135:3).
