Psa 34:1-2, 145:1-2, 146:2, Mat 5:12, Act 5:41, 16:25, Rom 5:2-3 | TSK | STEP | David praises God, and exhorts others thereto by his experience. They are blessed that trust in God. He exhorts to the fear of God. The privileges of the righteous. A.M. 2942. B.C. 1062. (Title.) Abimelech. or, Achish.This is the second of the alphabetical Psalms (the first being Ps 25:); each verse beginning consecutively with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The verse, however, which begins with [\^w\^, vâv,] {wav,} and which should come in between the fifth and sixth, is totally wanting; but as the 22nd, which now begins with [\^p\^, pê,] {pay, podeh,} "redeemeth," is entirely out of the series, it is not improbable that it was originally written {oophodeh,} "and redeemeth" and occupied that situation, in which connection it reads admirably. See on Ps.
