Bible Question: What, if any, is the significance of the use of letters from the Hebrew alphabet in Psalm 119? |
Bible Answer: Greetings! Psalm 119 is written in an acrostic (alphabetical) arrangement. Each paragraph is made up of eight verses. Each line begins with the same letter of the Hebrew alphabet. (The 22 paragraphs correspond to the 22 letters of the alphabet.) So verses 1-8 each begin with the first Hebrew letter, verses 9-16 each begin with the second letter, and so on.
