AMP Footnotes
This was probably a form of praise and worship designed to declare God’s character and His truths with music and lyrics.
Control over prophecy is later affirmed by Paul (1 Cor 14:32); i.e. a prophet is not overcome by the Spirit to the point that he cannot control his actions. He can, for example, refrain from speaking, and in this case Asaph did not prophesy until ordered or given permission to do so by the king.
Lit hand.
Lit lift up the horn.
