ARGUMENT

ARG. THOMAS. That CHRIST, having obtained the heathen for His inheritance, spake, in His own city, with the glory of the FATHER. CHRIST hath ascended to the FATHER. It is the voice of the Apostles. This Psalm is to be read with the Acts of the Apostles, after the history how CHRIST ascendeth to the FATHER.

VEN. BEDE. Although the entire Psalm be sung in the person of the Sons of Korah, nevertheless it is divided by the interposition of a Selah. In the first section the heathen are admonished to give praises to the LORD, because He hath acquired to Himself a people of inheritance, and hath set them in His heritage. In the second, the Ascension of the LORD is described, and the Kingdom which the Saints are to enjoy, world without end.
