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^, v(8376),] {wav,} and which should come in between the
fifth and sixth, is totally wanting; but as the 22nd, which
now begins with [^p^, p(882c)] {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.
