his law; giving praise

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Jeduthun

(praising), a Levite of the family of Merari, is probably the same as Ethan. Comp. (1 Chronicles 15:17,19) with 1Chr 16:41,42; 25:1,3,6; 2Chr 35:15 His office was generally to preside over the music of the temple service, Jeduthun's name stands at the head of the 39th, 62d and 77th Psalms, indicating probably that they were to be sung by his choir. (B.C. 1014.)

ATS Bible Dictionary

Jeduthun

A Levite, one of the directors of music at the temple, 1 Chronicles 16:38-42. His descendants held the same office, 2 Chronicles 35:15 Nehemiah 11:7; and the name of one of them appears in the title of Psalm 39:1-13 62:1-12 77:1-20. See ASAPH.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Lauder; praising, a Levite of the family of Merari, and one of the three masters of music appointed by David (1 Chronicles 16:41, 42; 25:1-6). He is called in 2 Chronicles 35:15 "the king's seer." His descendants are mentioned as singers and players on instruments (Nehemiah 11:17). He was probably the same as Ethan (1 Chronicles 15:17, 19). In the superscriptions to Psalm 39, 62, and 77, the words "upon Jeduthun" probably denote a musical instrument; or they may denote the style or tune invented or introduced by Jeduthun, or that the psalm was to be sung by his choir.
