Footnotes（注解）

¹ [Psalm 145] A hymn in acrostic form; every verse begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Acrostic poems usually do not develop ideas but consist rather of loosely connected statements. The singer invites all to praise God (Psalm 145:1-3, 21). The "works of God" make God present and invite human praise (Psalm 145:4-7); they climax in a confession (Psalm 145:8-9). God's mighty acts show forth divine kingship (Psalm 145:10-20), a major theme in the literature of early Judaism and in Christianity.
