Psalms 118:25
Verse 25. Save now, I beseech thee] These words were sung by the Jews on the feast of tabernacles, when carrying green branches in their hands; and from the hoshiah nna, we have the word hosanna. This was sung by the Jewish children when Christ made his public entry into Jerusalem. See Mt 21:9, and see the note there, See Clarke on Mt 21:9, in which the word and the circumstance are both explained.
