• “The new moon,” it has been said, “was the symbol of the reappearance of Israel in the sun’s light.” The blowing of trumpets, on the first day of the seventh month, celebrated the first of the three set times in that month which spoke of Israel’s blessing (Lev. 23:24, 27, 34). The psalm, therefore, looks on to the time when Israel will again come into blessing as a nation in the recognized favor of God. (“Psalm 81” by H. Smith)
