David there calls himself the servant of J ahve, and in the inscription to Ps. Xxxvi. He bears the very same name: T o the Precentor, by the servant of Jaime, by David. The textus receptas accents {1m with a conjunctive Illuj ben-naphtali accents it less ambiguously with a disjunctive Legarme (vial. Psalter, ii. Since David is not himself the rim. Ps. Xii., xiv. Xxxvi., xxxvii., form a group. In these Psalms David complains of the moral corruption of his generation. They are all merely reflections of the character of the time, not of particular occurrences. In common with P5. Xii., the Psalm before us has a prophetic colouring; and, in common with P5. Xxxvii., allusions to the primeval history of the Book of Genesis. The strophe schema is 4. 5. 5. G. 6.
