Psalms 34:1-8
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.
