Nehemiah 9:5

Hashabniah. — Not found elsewhere. No reason is given why this company is somewhat different from the former; the LXX. arbitrarily omit all names after Kadmiel. Similarly, they insert “and Ezra said” before Nehemiah 9:6. The psalm was perhaps composed by Ezra, but uttered by the Levites in the name of the congregation.

Stand up and bless... Blessed be. — Or, let them bless.

Thou, even thou, art Lord alone. — The three phrases mark how the address to the people glides into direct adoration of God.

Thy glorious name. — Literally found again in Psalms 72:19 alone.
