Notes

Psalms 119:121–128

Ayin (ע) is the sixteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and marks the beginning of the next section of this psalm.

The servant of the Lord struggles to endure the evil around him. He confidently asks the Lord to rescue him right away!

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.
