Psalm 8 Notes

Psalm 9 Notes

General notes

Psalm 9 in LXX seems to conjoin what in the MT is Psalm 9 and 10. Perhaps this is where numbering gets off for Ps. 151 in LXX?

Vs 1

υπερ των κρυφιων is translated in LXX from "almut laben" in MT.

This seems like a potential Text critical issue? "Almut" could be read as for the sake of the death, but the septuagint seems to translate at "hiding".

Vulgate seems to lean in direction of MT with "pro morte filii", whereas the VL leans in direction of LXX ("pro occultis filii")

Vs 3

αγαλλιομαι - take delight, Homeric primarily, < 50 times

ψαλω - sing (relating to a harp) (from ψαλλω)
