Psalm 145

A Grace Gathering

Psalm 145

00:00 / 00:44:19

Ironically, like the Proverbs 31:10-31, this is another example of an artistic literary poem; it is acrostic in form. Each verse begins with a consecutive letter in the Hebrew alphabet. Again, one letter is deleted (nun) which should be after v. 13. Some ancient translations supply what they must have thought was a missing verse, such a 11QPs at Qumran.
Since the literary form is acrostic, it is a wisdom or instructional Psalm, as well as a praise psalm.
