Notes

Psalms 119:108–112

freewill offerings of my mouth: This Hebrew expression is unique in the Old Testament (compare Psalm 50:23).
The psalmist is vulnerable to his opponents because of his commitment to a wise life.

Psalms 119:105–112

Nun (נ) is the fourteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It marks the beginning of the next section of this psalm.

The psalmist's deep commitment to God's word comes from within (Psalm 119:112) and directs his actions.

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.
