Psalms 39:1 (King James Version)
I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

- M. 2970. B.C. 1034. (Title.) Jeduthun.
- Jeduthun, probably the same as Ethan, 1 ; Ch 6:44 was one of the sons of Merari, and is supposed to have been one the four masters of music, or leaders of bands, belonging to the temple service. It is therefore probable that David, having composed this Psalm, gave it to Jeduthun and his company to sing; and it is very likely, that it was written on the same occasion as the preceding.
