Psalms81:1
PSAL. LXXXI.
VPon Gittith] An Inſtrument brought from Gath, or uſed by Obed-Edom the Gittite; or a Pſalm to be ſung at the vintages, i.e. at the Feaſt of Tabernacles. It containeth a ſolemn Thankſgiving (for which cauſe alſo that Feaſt was inſtituted) with ſo great joy, that Plutarch took occaſion there-hence to write (but falſly) that the Jews did then keep a Feaſt, [non-Latin text not transcribed] In ſympoſ. gaudium cantu accendite. or Holy-day to Bacchus.
Verſ. 1. Sing aloud unto God] Be loud and large in his praiſes, ſet them forth cheerfully, and couragiouſly. God loveth zeal in all his ſervices.
