This psalm expresses a majestic love for God's written Word. It deals with the Word as promise, command, guide, testimony, teaching, wisdom, truth, righteousness and rebuke. It is presented as the psalmist's comfort, protection, treasure, rule for life, delight to his heart and soul, and resource for all his needs. The psalmist expreses a profound love for God by reading, meditating on and praying over his Word. He teaches us that we will grow in grace and righteousness only as love for that Word increases in us. This psalm is called an alphabetical acrostic because its 22 stanzas (or paragrahs) of eight verses each correspond to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Each verse in the paragraphs begins with letter characteristic of its stanza.

I have often heard that a teacher of the Word is held accountible for his teaching, which is true. However, how about the hearer of the Word? I believe not only is he accountible, but to a higher degree. The Bible says that he who has an ear listen, and not let the Word go out one ear and through the other. Just food for thought.

May God bless, golfjack

Smile AGREED.

For somewhere in the Bible (NIV or NASB or KJV) It says, "be ye DOERS of the Word".
