Bible Question: I would like some historical information if available, to find out if David was spiritually troubled during the writting of this verse, or if he referred to his physical appearance. Thanks for any help you can offer! Tim |
Bible Answer: Greetings Tim! Apparently, the psalmist (the author is unknown for certain) wrote while under some sort of serious duress (cf. vv. 23,42,51,61,67,71,78,86-87,95,110,121,134,139,143,146,153,154,157,161,169). (1) This is an acrostic psalm, and it is very possible that David wrote this Psalm, being the longest of all the Psalms! But other possibilities include Daniel or Ezra. "..The psalm conveys the thought that the Word of God contains everything man needs to know. Except for verses 1-3 and 115, it is addressed to the Lord. The psalmist uses 10 different terms for the law or Word of God, every verse except verses 90, 122 and 132 mentioning at least one of these terms: law (i.e., instruction or revelation), testimonies (or precepts), ways, precepts (or orders), statutes (or decrees), commandments, judgments (or ordinances), word, path, word (the last "word" meaning promise or utterance, as in v. 11)."
