Thanks Mishael for the invite! Dianne has got this one & shared exactly what I understand as well. It's interesting that this wisdom Psalm concerning the Law of the Lord is an alphabetic acrostic with each stanza containing eight verses only - and of course, devoted to the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet, as Dianne has pointed out.
I don't see any other criteria that divides this Psalm into its stanzas, as their content is varied, but all focussing back on God's Word (in its different forms & applications), and of course, using that Word to live wisely before God & man.
Carl Just two points of interest but there are many every section of psalm 119 starts with a letter of the hebrew alphabet also every verse has a word about Gods word. Examples Law of the lord, commandment, precepts, statutes, judgements, testimonies and so on. Both of these would be remarkable studies in themselves, I have yet to go there. Always something to learn in Gods Word. God Bless
Come on! it is the longest chapter in the Bible!!
