“To the Chief Musician, A Psalm of David.” So far the title
corresponds with Psalm 40, of which this is a copy with variations.
David appears to have written the full-length Psalm and also to have
made this excerpt from it and altered it to suit the occasion. It is
a fit pendant to Psalm 69 and a suitable preface to Psalm 71. To
bring to remembrance: this is the poor man’s memorial.</span></span></font></font></p>
