Notes

Psalms 119:49–56

Zayin (ז) is the seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It marks the beginning of the next section of this psalm.

The psalmist asks God to remember his word as the psalmist also remembers God’s word and his name. Remembrance expresses devotion.

Psalms 119:1–176

This psalm blends wisdom, lament, praise, thanksgiving, and confession. It often uses eight Hebrew words translated as:

“Instructions”
“law”
“words”
“commandments”
“statutes”
“judgments”
“promises”
“precepts“

These words encourage love for and obedience to God's instructions in the Scriptures (see 2 Timothy 3:14–17). A deep commitment to these instructions unifies the psalm.
