Notes

Psalms 119:57–64

Heth (ח) is the eighth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It marks the beginning of the next section of this psalm.

The psalmist seeks God’s favor and loving devotion. Although surrounded by evildoers, he remains a loyal servant of the Lord.

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.
