Notes

Psalms 119:113–120

Samekh (ס) is the fifteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and marks the beginning of the next section of this psalm.

The psalmist declares his hatred of evil and his love for God and his ways.

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.
