The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 72:20

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

This is a note appended, either by the collector of the first two Books of the Psalms, or by the collector of the Third Book, who thus marked the difference between the previous collection and his own, the former containing sixty psalms ascribed to David in their titles, and the latter one only (Psalms 86:1-17).
