Psalm 119
The Psalm is alphabetical. Eight stanzas commence with one letter, and then another eight with the next letter, and so the whole psalm proceeds through the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. This sacred ode is a little Bible, the Scriptures condensed, rewritten in holy emotions and actions. Blessed are they who can read and understand these saintly aphorisms; they will find golden apples and come to reckon that this psalm, like the whole Scripture which it praises, is a pearl island, or, better still, a garden of sweet flowers.
