Psalms 9:1 - Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes

Bible Comments

Psalms 9 and Psalms 10 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. 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).
