Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Hashabniah.--Not found elsewhere. No reason is given why this company is somewhat different from the former; the LXX. arbitrarily omit all names after Kadmiel. Similarly, they insert "and Ezra said" before Nehemiah 9:6. The psalm was perhaps composed by Ezra, but uttered by the Levites in the name of the congregation.Stand up and bless . . . Blessed be.--Or, let them bless.Thou, even thou, art Lord alone.--The three phrases mark how the address to the people glides into direct adoration of God.Thy glorious name.--Literally found again in Psalm 72:19 alone.
