Title The author of this Psalm is unknown; but it was evidently written to commemorate the return of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity; and it may easily be perceived that it must have been sung in alternate parts , having a double burden , or two intercalary #### Verses often recurring. Bp. Lowth considers it as written "after the method of the ancient pastorals , where , be the subject of their #### Verse what it will , each swain endeavours to excel the other; and one may perceive their thoughts and expressions gradually to rise upon each other." "No doubt ," he adds , "the composition of this Psalm is admirable throughout; and the descriptive part of it adds at least its share of beauty to the whole; but what is most to be admired is its conciseness , and withal the expressiveness of the diction , which strikes the imagination with illimitable elegance. The weary and bewildered traveller . the miserable captive in the dungeon . the sick and dying man . the seaman foundering in a storm . are described in so affecting a manner , that they far exceed anything of the kind , though never so much laboured."
