Psalms 105:2

Sing unto him -Sing before him; offer him praise. Sing psalms unto him -The word here rendered “sing psalms” means properly “to prune,” and then, to” cut off,” as a discourse at regular periods; or, to utter in rhythmical numbers; and then it means to accompany such words with an instrument of music. The idea here is, that he is to be approached, not merely with “singing,” but with sentiments expressed in the form of regular composition - in musical numbers. Talk ye -The word used here very commonly means to meditate, to muse (compare the notes atPsalms 1:2), but would here seem to be employed in the sense of “talking over,” to wit, in singing.
