Psalm 118:8

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 118:1-29

CXVIII. A Hymn for Festal Procession to Zion.— The old tradition that different parts were appropriated to different voices is right in substance, though the statement of the Targum that in Psalms 118:23-Joel : single parts should be assigned to the Temple builders, to the sons of Jesse, the tribe of Judah, Samuel, David, is fantastic enough. The Talmud (quoted by Stä rk) takes a more reasonable view. According to it Psalms 118:1-: was sung by the pilgrims not yet arrived; Psalms... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 118:1-29

This psalm is destitute of title, and the occasion on which it was composed is not known. The style however, the subject, the masterly manner in which it is treated, and the spirit which pervades the whole, are those of David. It is the last of the six psalms which compose the great Hallel, or hymn of praise, sung at the Jewish festivals. There is no doubt that the Jews sang this and other psalms in responses, and many critics have amused themselves with endeavours to allot to the priests,... read more
