The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
KJV
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. The Septuagint version renders it, the hymns.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended - This was most probably the last Psalm he ever wrote. There may be several in the after part of this book which were written by him; but they were probably composed in a former period of his life, for this was the end of the poetic prayers of David the son of Jesse. Those that were found afterwards have got out of their proper connection.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. What more could he ask? He has climbed the summit of the mount of God; he desires nothing more. With this upon his lip, he is content to die. He strips himself of his own royalty and becomes only the "son of Jesse, "thrice happy to subside into nothing before the crowned Messiah.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
