psalm 119

6/24/2020

1 Comment

 


This psalm is titled "Praise to the Word of God", with numerous references throughout. Notably, Psalm 119 is considered a complete acrostic corresponding to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet (aleph, etc.). As a wisdom psalm it is considered the premier song about the "Torah" (The Law of God = The Word of God in the Old Testament: OT). Here the law of God is not considered a "curse" but a gift from God, which instructs both the daily life and future destiny of Israel. The psalmist is overwhelmed with praise for the mercy and goodness of God through the Law.

The Torah refers to the general instructions/directions presented to Moses and specifically to the first five books of the OT. It was understood that the Law was not a legalistic means of salvation but a sign of the gracious covenantal relationship, initiated by God with Israel, to teach them how to live as God's holy people.

In this lesson we will generally cover verses 89-175. Several descriptive terms reference the Word of God/ The Law of God (OT) namely, Your word, Your ordinances, Your law, Your precepts, Your testimonies, Your commandments, Your judgements, Your truth.

My favorite verse is 105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet, a light to my path."
