Psalms 119:1-3

119:1

[A.M. 3560. B.C. 444. (Title.)]

This Psalm, which was probably composed by Ezra, is another of the alphabetical Psalms: it consists of twenty-two parts, answering to the number of the Hebrew letters; every part being divided into eight verses, and each verse beginning with that letter which forms the title of the part; that is, the first part of eight verses with [Aleph,] the second with [Bˆyth,] etc. It is an elegant, important, and useful composition; the chief subjects of which are the excellence of God's laws, and the happiness of those who observe them. ALEPH

blessed <0835> [Blessed.]

blameless <08549> [undefiled. or, perfect, or sincere.]

obey <01980> [walk.]

119:2

observe <05341> [keep.]

seek <01875> [seek.]

119:3
