John Trapp Complete Commentary

Psalms 9:2

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

Ver. 2. I will be glad and rejoice in thee] Spiritual cheerfulness is the mother of thankfulness, James 5:13. Birds, when got in the air, or on the top of trees, and have taken up a stand to their mind, sing most sweetly.

O thou most High] God was so first called by Melchizedek, upon a like occasion as here by David, Genesis 14:19,20. The Greeks might have their ηλιος, for the sun, which they worshipped, from this Hebrew Helion, most High.
