It declares God\u2019s goodness and urges all of creation to worship. <br \/>\nPsalm of Zion&#8211;This psalm glorifies God\u2019s city and His holy mount in which He has placed His abode.<\/p>\n<p><em>Chapter Summary: <\/em><br \/>\nHere too, Asaf speaks of the future redemption and God\u2019s vengeance against Israel\u2019s enemies. This psalm also alludes to the Mishkan (Tabernacle), here referred to as Sukkat David (the Sukkah of David). As such, it is recited in some communities on the holiday of Sukkot.<\/p>\n<p>This psalm consists of thirteen verses, subdivided into three parts. The first verse serves as a heading.<br \/>\nIn verses 2 and 3, the psalmist proudly declares that the name of God has become known in Israel, and that his dwelling place is set in Zion.<br \/>\nIn verses 4-10, he further describes how God has imposed His fear upon His enemies and has delivered all humble inhabitants of the earth from the hands of their oppressors. <br \/>\nIn verses 11-13, he speaks of the people who subjugate themselves to God, fear Him, and express their devotion by making vows to Him.<\/p>\n<p><em>Introductory Words:<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Lemnatsei\u2019ach<\/em>&#8211;To the Conductor<br \/>\n<em>Mizmor<\/em>&#8211;Musical Accompaniment<br \/>\n<em>Shir<\/em>\u2014Song<\/p>\n<p><em>Technical Terminology: <\/em><br \/>\n<em>Neginot<\/em>&#8211;Tunes<br \/>\n<em>Selah<\/em>&#8211;While its meaning is unclear, the most familiar opinion is that it is a musical notation, instructing the Levitical orchestra to pause its singing and playing of instruments.
