This is the second of the alphabetical Psalm (the first being Psa. 25) . each #### Verse beginning consecutively with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The #### Verse , however , which begins with וּ , wav , and which should come in between the fifth and sixth , is totally wanting; but as the 22nd , which now begins with פּ , 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.
