Psalms 47:1 A psalm of a canticle, for the sons of Core, on the second day of the week.

On the, etc., is not in Hebrew nor Eusebius, etc. It means Sunday, (St. Ambrose; Worthington) or rather Monday, being sung on that day. (St. Jerome, etc.) (Haydock) --- The subject of the former canticle is continued, in thanksgiving to God, for some signal victory, or for the peace which God afforded to his people, after the death of Cambyses. (Calmet) --- The Fathers explain it of the propagation and peace of the Church. (Haydock)
