Psalm 119

I love the Bible; therefore I love Psalm 119. With only a few exceptions, each of its 176 verses extols God's Word.

Psalm 119 is an acrostic poem divided into 22 sections, one for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Each line of the first section starts with the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet; each line of the second section with the second letter, etc.

For me, Psalm 119 is one of the tallest trees in the forest of literature. Every year, I thrill at having the chance to read it again.

I encourage you to remove all distractions, and read it in one sitting. Take your time. Ponder the words. Be blessed.
