Back to Psalms'

Ps 119:1 This psalm contains sundry prayers, praises, and professions of obedience.

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 [B�th,] 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.
