Hello Godfrey. Psalm 119 is a Wisdom Psalm concerning the Law of God & is written as an alphabetic acrostic in which each stanza of eight verses is devoted to the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. So as you read the Psalm from verse 1, you will notice the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet (Aleph), then at verse 9 (Beth), verse 17 (Gimel), and so on. Of course, if a Hebrew-speaking person had to write those words in English, he may spell them slightly differently, but the essence of each letter is the same as shown in this Psalm.
