write_v before_o very_o likely_a entire_o by_o the_o author_n and_o what_o be_v copy_v out_o after_o by_o hezekiahs_n man_n the_o same_o thing_n learned_a man_n conceive_v of_o david_n psalm_n that_o the_o 72_o first_o be_v leave_v by_o david_n himself_o in_o that_o order_n they_o now_o stand_v because_o of_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o 72_o psalm_n the_o prayer_n of_o david_n the_o son_n of_o jesse_n be_v end_v and_o that_o the_o rest_n after_o though_o many_o of_o they_o be_v of_o david_n pen_n yet_o be_v set_v in_o that_o order_n by_o ezra_n or_o some_o other_o for_o the_o five_o thing_n
