Notes

Psalm 111 and Psalm 112 are acrostic poems, each consisting of ten verses and beginning with "Hallelujah!" Psalm 111 praises God, highlighting His works, including the exodus and covenant with Abraham. It features a thematic chiasm, emphasizing the relationship between God's actions and the praise of His people. The acrostic structure enhances the poem's density and artistic quality, reflecting God's revelation and the response of worship.
