speak_v of_o popular_a happiness_n than_o such_o a_o king_n nor_o of_o celestial_a than_o such_o a_o prophet_n yet_o i_o mean_v not_o to_o discourse_v of_o it_o in_o the_o full_a latitude_n but_o only_o as_o it_o have_v a_o peculiar_a positure_n in_o this_o psalm_n very_o various_a and_o different_a from_o the_o order_n of_o other_o psalm_n in_o this_o psalm_n it_o be_v reserve_v to_o the_o

and_o in_o the_o 128._o again_o in_o this_o the_o psalmist_n end_v with_o our_o blessedness_n and_o begin_v with_o god_n blessed_n be_v the_o lord_n my_o strength_n in_o the_o 41_o psalm_n contrary_a he_o make_v his_o exordium_n from_o man_n blessed_n be_v he_o that_o consider_v the_o poor_a his_o conclusion_n with_o god_n blessed_n be_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n i_o therefore_o observe_v
