2 Chronicles 29:30 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 29:30

Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the
Levites to sing praise unto the Lord, with the words of David, and of
Asaph the seer
Making use of psalms composed by the one and the other; Jarchi takes it to be the one hundred and fifth psalm, which begins, "O give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name"; as in ( 1 Chronicles 16:7 1 Chronicles 16:8 ) and they sang praises with gladness;
the king and all the people: and they bowed their heads and worshipped;
made another adoration of the Divine Being, as deeply impressed with a sense of his greatness and goodness.
