The textual reading is {ka„ri,} "as a lion my hands and feet;" but several MSS., read {kƒroo,} and others {karoo} in the margin, which affords the reading adopted by our translators. So the LXX. [oryxan cheiras mou kai podas,] so also the Vulgate, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic; and as all the Evangelists so quote the passage, and apply it to the crucifixion of Christ, there seems scarcely the shadow of a doubt that this is the genuine reading; especially when it is considered, that the other contains no sense at all. The whole difference lies between [vƒv] {wav} and [y“wd,] {yood,} which might easily be mistaken for each other.

Abimelech <040> [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\^, vƒv,] {wav,} and which should come in between the fifth and sixth, is totally wanting; but as the 22nd, which now begins with [\^p\^, pˆ,] {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.

cry out <06817> [The righteous.]
There is no word for the righteous in the present Hebrew text; but it is preserved in all the versions; and it was probably lost from its similitude to {tzƒ„koo,} "they cry:"--{tzƒ„koo tazddeekim,} "the righteous cry."
cry out <06817> [cry.]

destruction ................. destruction <07722> [Let destruction.]
All the verbs in these verses, (ver. 4-8,) in the original, are in the future tense, as a prediction, and should probably be so rendered; though as that tense is frequently used in Hebrew for the imperative, most translators, both ancient and modern, have considered them as an imprecation.

David <01732> [A.M. cir. 3463. B.C. cir. 541. (Title.) A psalm.]
This Psalm is supposed by some to have been composed by David at the beginning of Saul's persecutions; but Calmet and others, on good grounds, are of opinion that it was written during the Babylonian captivity.
servant <05650> [servant.]
rebellious <06588> [The transgression.]
Or, rather, "The speech of transgression to the wicked is within his heart: there is no fear of God before his eyes;" for instead of {libbi,} "my heart," four MSS., have {libbo,} "his heart," which is also the reading of the LXX., Vulgate, Syriac, Arabic, Ethiopic, and Anglo-Saxon.

Or, {adanacha,} "thy pleasure," as four MSS., read; in which there is probably a reference to the garden of Eden, and the river that ran through, and watered it.

[(Title.)]
This is the third alphabetical Psalm. It seems to have been intended as an instructive and consoling ode for the captives in Babylon, who might feel themselves severely tempted when they saw those idolaters in prosperity, and themselves in adversity.

That is, as the fat was wholly consumed in sacrifices, by the fire on the altar, so the wicked shall consume away in the fire of God's anger.

Rely <06960> [Wait.]
{Kawah,} to wait, implies the extension of a right line from one point to another. The first point is the human heart; the line is its intense desire; and the last point is God, to whom the heart extends this straight line of earnest desire. He who, while he waits on God, keeps his way, is sure to have the further blessings of which he is in pursuit.

wounds <02250> [My wounds.]
The soul being invisible, its distempers are also so; therefore the sacred writers describe them by the distempers of the body. (See the Parallel Texts on these verses.) On reading these and similar passages, say Bp. Lowth, some, who were but little acquainted with the genius of Hebrew poetry, have pretended to enquire into the nature of the disease with which the poet was afflicted; not less absurdly, in my opinion, than if they had perplexed themselves to discover in what river he was plunged, when he complains that "the deep waters had gone over his soul."

[are lively, etc. Heb. being living are strong.]
Instead of {chaymin,} "lively" Bp. Lowth would read {chinmon,} "without cause:"--"but mine enemies without cause have strengthened themselves." As this emendation renders this member of the sentence parallel to the other, it is by no means improbable: see Ps 35:19; 79:5.

Jeduthun <03038> [A.M. 2970. B.C. 1034. (Title.) Jeduthun.]
Jeduthun, probably the same as Ethan, 1 Ch 6:44, was one of the sons of Merari, and is supposed to have been one the four masters of music, or leaders of bands, belonging to the temple service. It is therefore probable that David, having composed this Psalm, gave it to Jeduthun and his company to sing; and it is very likely, that it was written on the same occasion as the preceding.

[A.M. 2970. B.C. 1034. (Title.)]
This psalm is supposed to have been composed by David about the same time, and on the same occasion, as the two preceding; with this difference, that here he magnifies God for have obtained the mercy which he sought there. It also contains a remarkable prophecy of the incarnation and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

reliability <0530> [faithfulness.]
deliverance <08668> [salvation.]
loyal love <02617> [lovingkindness.]
withhold <03607> [Withhold.]
From this verse to the end, we have quite a new subject; for the former contains a thanksgiving, and this contains a supplication. It is nearly the same as the seventieth, and probably formed a distinct Psalm.
loyal love <02617> [let thy.]
innumerable <04557> [innumerable.]
sins ................ head <05771 07218> [mine.]
outnumber <06105> [they are.]

fails <05800> [faileth. Heb. forsaketh.]
<07521> [Be.]
hurry <02363> [make.]
embarrassed <0954> [Let them be ashamed.]
The verbs in the preceding verse, in which the psalmist simply prays for deliverance, are in the imperative; but here, and in the following verses, they are in the future tense, and naturally express the language of lively faith and hope, rather than that of wishing the destruction foreseen and predicted.
snatch away ............ want <01245 02655> [that.]

humiliated <08074> [desolate.]

This Psalm is supposed to have been written on the same occasion as the three former; and to relate to David's affliction, and the evil treatment he received from his enemies during its continuance.

The LXX. and Vulgate render [Genoito, genoito] {Fiat, fiat.} So be it! So be it! With this psalm ends the first of the five books into which the Hebrews have divided the Psalms.
[A.M. 2983. B.C. 1021. (Title.)]
{Maschil,} or a Psalm giving instruction, of the sons, etc. Or, "An instructive Psalm," or didactic ode, "for the sons of Korah." It is generally supposed to have been written by David when driven from Jerusalem and beyond Jordan, by Absalom's rebellion.

waterfalls <06794> [water-spouts.]
A water-spout is a large tube formed of clouds by means of the electric fluid, the base being uppermost, and the point let down perpendicularly form the clouds. It has a particular kind of circular motion at the point; and, being hollow within, attracts vast quantities of water, which it frequently pours down in torrents upon the earth. These spouts are frequent on the coast of Syria; and no doubt the Psalmist had often seen them, and the ravages which they made.

[A.M. 2983. B.C. 1021. (Title.)]
This Psalm is evidently a continuation of the preceding, and had the same author; and they are written as one in forty-six MSS. The sameness of subject, similarity of composition, and return of the same burden in both, are sufficient evidence of this opinion.

Or, rather, "how thou didst afflict the peoples (of Canaan,) and madest them (the Hebrews) to shoot forth;" for {shalach} is to send forth in any manner, and is applied to a vine spreading its roots, etc. Ps 89:9; Eze 17:6; Jer 17:8; and this sense is parallel with plantedst in the former line.

music director <05329> [(Title.) To the chief.]
Or, rather, "To the chief musician upon the hexachords, a didactic ode for the sons of Korah, and a song of loves." {Shoshannim} most probably denotes hexachords, or six-stringed instruments, from {shesh,} "six:" hence the Persian {shasta,} a six-stringed lute. This Psalm is supposed by some to be an epithalamium, or nuptial song, on the marriage of Solomon with Pharaoh's daughter; but with what propriety could Solomon be described as fairer than the children of men, a mighty warrior, a victorious conqueror, and a prince whose throne is for ever and ever? A greater than Solomon is here; and the person described is no other than the Messiah, as is acknowledged by many Jewish writers. The Targum on ver. 3 says, "Thy beauty, {malka meshecha,} O King Messiah, is greater than the children of men;" and the Apostle expressly quotes it as such Heb 1:8, 9. It was probably written by David after Nathan's prophetic address 1 Ch 17:27.

This Psalm is supposed to have been called {al tashcheth,} or "destroy not," because David thus addressed one of his followers when about to kill Saul in the cave; and {michtam,} or "golden," because written, or worthy to be written, in gold.

{Pethen,} is no doubt the {boeten} of the Arabians, which M. Forskal describes as spotted with black and white, about one foot in length, nearly half an inch thick, oviparous, and its bite almost instant death. It is the aspic of the ancients, and is so called the literati of Cyprus, though the common people call it [kouphe,] deaf.
respond <08085> [Which.]
That serpents might be charmed or rendered harmless was well known to the ancients. Virgil, and many others state the fact:--{Frigidus in pratis cantando, rumpitur anguis.} "In the meadows the cold snake is burst by incantation."

{Shabbelool,} in Chaldee {tivlala,} the snail, is probably so called from the Arabic {balla,} to wet, moisten, because of the glutinous slime emitted from its body, by which it appears to waste itself away in its own motion; and in the same manner the wicked prove their own destruction.

The seven poems of the celebrated Arabian poets who flourished before the time of Mohammed, called {MoÆ’llakat,} from being suspended on the walls of the temple of Mecca, were also called {Modhabat,} "golden," because they were written in letters of gold on the papyrus; and probably this is another reason why the six poems of David were called golden.

This refers to the phenomena of thunder and lightning; for all nations have observed the electric fluid is an irresistible agent,--destroying life, tearing towers and castles to pieces, rending the strongest oaks, and cleaving the most solid rocks; and the most enlightened nations have justly considered it as an especial manifestation of the power and sovereignty of God.

David <01732> [A Psalm.]
It is uncertain when this Psalm was composed; though it is probable that it was written by David during the rebellion of Absalom.

Bochart, from a comparison of this passage with Joh 19:29, thinks that {rosh} is the same herb as the evangelist calls [ ,] hyssop; a species of which, growing in Judea, he proves from Isaac ben Orman, an Arabian writer, to be so bitter as not to be eatable. Theophylact expressly tells us, that the hyssop was added [ ,] as being deleterious, or poisonous: and Nonnus, in his paraphrase, says, [ ] "One gave the deadly acid mixed with hyssop."
