Psalm 119:1-88

Any dealing with this psalm must necessarily be general and not particular. It has been called the psalm of the Law, not inaccurately; but the term, "The Law," should be understood in its widest significance, no fewer than ten Hebrew words being used in referring to the great matter celebrated. These are translated 'law," "word," "saying" or 'savings," "commandment," "statutes," "ordinances," "precepts," "testimony," way," "path." A careful consideration of them will reveal one underlying conception. It is the conception of the will of God as that will has been made known to man. Every word reveals some aspect of the will in itself, of the method of its revelation, and its value in human life.
