Why is the 119th Psalm so long? It is an Hebrew acrostic according to biblical notes in the NIV study Bible. Amidst the length nestled in the many inspiring verses is one of my favorite and states the reason why daily Bible study makes a difference.
"Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light for my path.
If you are in to the structure of the Psalms, Psalm 117-119 are all noteworthy. There are some that acknowledge Psalm 118 as the halfway point in the Bible. Psalm 117 is the shortest. Psalm 119 is the longest. All this in three chapters. We are rapidly winding through the Psalms and we have forty-one to go.
We begin the New Testament with the New Year!
