This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They that go down, &c. In the Heb, text, verses: Psa_107:23-28 are marked by "inverted Nuns" (i.e. the letter Nun (N), inverted). There are nine altogether. There are two in Num_10:35, Num_10:36 (see note there), and seven in this Psalm. Psa_107:23-28 each have one; also Psa_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 Psa_107:38 to Psa_107:39 is said to be.
