Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

(Title)		"This Psalm is little else than a repetition of the preceding, with the addition of the burden, ""for his mercy endureth for ever,"" at the end of each verse; and it was doubtless composed on the same occasion. It seems evidently to have been a responsive song; the first part of the verse being probably sung by the Levites, and the burden by the people."
