Psalms Chapter 34

Psalms

psa 34:0

Overview

Psa 34:1, David praises God, and exhorts others thereto by his experience; Psa 34:8, They are blessed that trust in God; Psa 34:11, He exhorts to the fear of God; Psa 34:15, The privileges of the righteous.

This is the second of the alphabetical Psalms (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. Gen 20:2, Gen 26:1; Sa1 21:13-15; Pro 29:25
