   * Ps 8:1; 81:1 *titles

  that it was written at the foundation of the second temple.

  probably the bird which Forskal mentions among the migratory
  birds of Alexandria, by the name of {dururi}) a nest for
  herself where she may lay her young, (so I seek) thine altars,
  O Jehovah, God of hosts, my King and my God."  That is, as
  nature inclines birds to seek and prepare their nests, so
  grace has taught me to desire thy altars, and to worship
  there.
