Psalms118:12

In the name of the LORD. This has been understood as the tessera, the sentence of attack, or signal to engage, like those of Cyrus —Jupiter is our leader and ally —Jupiter our captain and preserver. Cyropaed. 1. 3 and 7; and Gideon, Jud 7:18. This interpretation being only founded on the repetition, may it not more probably be designed as suited to the musical performance? Samuel Burder.
