Notes

Psalms 119:97–102

make me wiser: God’s word provides wisdom and perspective. God is the true source of wisdom.

Psalms 119:97–104

Mem (מ) is the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It marks the beginning of the next section of this psalm.

The instruction and wisdom of God through his word are far better than the best that human teachers can offer.

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.
