Psalms 9:1

Psalms 9:0 and Psalms 10:0 are linked together by an irregular Acrostic (see notes on pp. 721, 722, and App-63 ), beginning at Psalms 9:1 and ending with Psalms 10:18 . Seven letters are omitted. The Acrostic is irregular, corresponding with the "times of trouble". The notes will show how one subject pervades them (see H p. 721). Compare "the lawless one" (Psalms 9:5 , Psalms 9:16 and Psalms 10:2 , Psalms 10:4 , Psalms 10:13 , Psalms 10:15 ); "times of trouble" (Psalms 9:9 and Psalms 10:1 ); "the oppressed" (Hebrew. dak, crushed, Psalms 9:9 and Psalms 10:18 ; occurs only here and Psalms 74:21 ); "mortal men" (Psalms 9:19 , Psalms 9:20 and Psalms 10:18 ); "forget" (Psalms 9:12 , Psalms 9:17 , Psalms 9:18 and Psalms 10:11 , Psalms 10:12 ); "humble" (Psalms 9:12 , Psalms 9:18 , and Psalms 10:12 , Psalms 10:17 ); "not alway" (Psalms 9:18 , and "never", Psalms 10:11 ); "for ever and ever" (Psalms 9:5 and Psalms 10:16 ); "arise, Jehovah" (Psalms 9:19 and Psalms 10:12 ).
