INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 50 A Psalm of Asaph. This psalm is called a psalm of Asaph; either because it was composed by him under divine inspiration, since he was a prophet and a seer, 1 Chronicles 25:2; or because it was delivered to him to be sung in public service, he being a chief musician; see 1 Chronicles 16:7; and so it may be rendered, "a psalm for Asaph"; or "unto Asaph" (o); which was...

Whoso offereth praise,...., Which is exhorted to; [See comments on Psalms 50:14]; glorifieth me; celebrates the divine perfections, gives God the glory of all mercies; which honours him, and is more grateful and well pleasing to him than all burnt offerings and sacrifices; and to him that ordereth [his] conversation [aright]; according to the rule of God's word, and as becomes the Gospel of...
