Notes

Psalms 119:89–96

Lamedh (ל) is the twelfth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It marks the beginning of the next section of this psalm.

The stability of God’s wisdom gives understanding. God’s word provides order and a framework for living, even when under pressure from adversaries.

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.
