Psalms 107:23

They that go down, &c. In the Heb, text, verses: Psalms 107:23 are marked by "inverted Nuns " (i.e. the letter Nun (N), inverted). There are nine altogether. There are two in Numbers 10:35; Numbers 10:36 (see note there), and seven in this Psalm. Psalms 107:23 each have one; also Psalms 107:40. These inverted letters are used as our "brackets" are, to indicate that, in the opinion of the Sopherim, the verses so marked should be transposed. But this is only an opinion, arrived at from not seeing the Structure of the Psalm, which, when examined, leaves nothing "inexplicable", as the transition from Psalms 107:38 to Psalms 107:39 is said to be.
