Containing 176 verses, the psalm uses the Hebrew alphabet for its structure. Each section begins with a letter of the alphabet, from Aleph to Tav (A to Z).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Describing his reliance on and love for God\u2019s law, the unnamed author often gets credited to David, although some scholars suggest Ezra, Daniel, or Jeremiah as possibilities. The psalmist shares their struggles and how holding fast to scripture helps them persevere, declaring the Word of God as all-sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filled with prayers and petitions for guidance and strength, the author relies on the Lord\u2019s grace to help him follow the Creator\u2019s decrees. By practicing God\u2019s commands, the psalmist finds victory over his struggles and the peace that only our heavenly Father can give.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we embark on a 90-day journey through this instrumental psalm, let\u2019s embrace the truth of God\u2019s word, apply it to our lives, and live in the victory Christ gave us on the cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy the journey, friend. Rest in the arms of the Savior; allow Him to fight for you.
