Notes

Psalms 119:169–176

Taw (ת) is the twenty-second letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It marks the beginning of the next section of this psalm.

God's servant asks the Lord for help one last time. He still feels like a lost sheep.

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.
