The longest Psalm 176 verses
The emphasis in this, the longest psalm, is on the vital ministry of the Word of God in the inner spiritual life of God’s children.
It describes how the Word enables us to grow in holiness and handle the persecutions and pressures that always accompany an obedient walk of faith.
The psalm is an acrostic with eight lines p 101 in each section, and the successive sections follow the letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
Each of the eight lines of 1–8 begins with the Hebrew letter aleph, the lines in 9–16 begin with beth, in 17–24 with gimel, and so on.
The unknown author used eight different words for the Scriptures: law (torah), testimony, precept, statute, commandment, judgment (in the sense of “a rule for living”), word (of God), and promise.
All eight are found in 33–40, 41–48, 57–64, 73–80, 81–88, and 129–136.
Students disagree on this, but it appears that every verse contains a direct mention of God’s Word except seven: verses 3, 37, 84, 90, 121, 122, and 132.
If you count “ways” as a synonym for God’s Word, then you can eliminate verses 3 and 37. (The niv has “your word” in v. 37, but most Hebrew texts read “your ways.”)
The writer may have been meditating on where David listed six names for the Scriptures, five of which are found in 119—law, testimony, precept, commandment, and judgment.
