(bb) It is difficult to name the Authors of them.] St. Jerome pretends, that these Psalms belong to those whose names they carry; but this is not certain. 'Tis * 1.1 believed, that the fifty next imme∣diately after that that carries for it's Title the return of Haggai and Zechariah, were written by those Prophets. The Author of the Abridgment, commonly attributed to St. Athana∣sius, believes, that all the Psalms entituled to David, ipsi David, are nevertheless done by some other hand. Our Blessed Saviour cites the hun∣dred and tenth Dixit Dominus, which is found to have that Title, under the name of David, Matt. 22. v. 42.

and the chief Captives. The Jews make Sa∣lomon the Author of the 92d, and of several o∣thers. Origen says, that the 90th was composed by Moses, whose name it bears; and the Jews tells us, he made it upon the occasion of a Sedition that happened amongst the Children of Israel, up∣on the return of those that were sent to discover the Land of Promise. St. Jerome is of the same opinion. The ten following Psalms are also attri∣buted to Moses, not only by the Jews, but even by St. Hilary and Jerome. This cannot possibly hold true of the 99th, where mention is made of Samuel. Some of the Rabbies attribute the 92d to Adam, as the Talmudists do some to several of the ancient Patriarchs. There is a Greek Psalm, which is not of the number of the 150 attributed to David but written by some Hellenist who has borrowed it out of David, Isaiah, and Ezekiel.

[I believe it should be 5 instead of 50, because the 146th Psalm has this Title in the LXX, of Haggai and Zechariah.]
