This phrase indicates that the psalm was intended for public worship and was to be directed by the choirmaster, a leader of music in the temple. The role of the choirmaster was crucial in organizing and leading the musical aspects of worship, which were an integral part of Israelite religious life. This highlights the communal aspect of worship in ancient Israel. A Psalm of David. A song. Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion; to You our vows will be fulfilled. Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points The Centrality of PraisePraise is not just an action but a state of readiness and anticipation. Our lives should be oriented towards glorifying God. The Significance of Zion Zion represents God's presence and His chosen place of worship. In a spiritual sense, believers are called to be a living Zion, where God's presence dwells. The Importance of Vows Making and fulfilling vows to God is a serious commitment. It reflects our trust in His faithfulness and our dedication to His purposes. Worship as a Community Praise and the fulfillment of vows are often communal activities, reminding us of the importance of gathering with other believers to worship God. Living a Life of Worship Our daily lives should reflect the praise and commitment we express in worship. Every action can be an act of worship when done for God's glory.(1) Praise waiteth . . .--Literally, To thee silence praise, which recalls Psalm 62:1 (see Note), but must be differently explained. To say, Praise is silence to thee, is hardly intelligible. The LXX. and Vulg. read differently, "praise is comely." Better supply a conjunction, To thee are quiet and praise, i.e., submissive expectation till the deliverance come (Psalm 62:1), and then exulting praise. Shall the vow.--Better, Is the vow paid, i.e., by the praise just mentioned. Verse 1. - Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion; literally, there is silence praise (equivalent to "silent praise") for thee, O God, in Zion. There was, for the most part, a hushed silence in the tabernacle and temple, amid which silent prayer and praise were offered to God by the priests and Levites, and any lay persons who might be present (camp. 1 Samuel 1:13). And unto thee shall the vow be performed. When there was any special outpouring of praise in the temple, there would almost always be a performance of vows. Both depended on some deliverance or favour having been granted.Parallel Commentaries ...
