Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
On that day David placed a psalm of thanksgiving to the Lord into the hands of Asaph and his fellow Levites, entrusting its keeping and use to them. He composed psalms both for worship in the sanctuary and for the people to sing as they journeyed to the national altar at the annual feasts. This organized singing renewed zeal for Jehovah, deepened interest in the sanctuary service, and helped to free Israel from idolatry.
