173Let thine hand helpe me: for I haue chosen thy precepts.

174I haue longed for thy saluation, O Lord: and thy Lawe is my delight.

175Let my soule liue, and it shall praise thee: and let thy iudgments helpe me.

176I haue gone astray like a lost sheepe, seeke thy seruant: for I doe not forget thy commandements.

53Rage seizes me because of the wicked; they forsake your law.

54 Your statutes become my songs wherever I make my home.

55 Even at night I remember your name in observance of your law, LORD.

68 You are good and do what is good; teach me your statutes.

69 The arrogant smear me with lies, but I keep your precepts with all my heart.

70 Their hearts are gross and fat; as for me, your law is my delight.

Psalm 119 is the longest book of the bible with 176 verses and 117 being the shortest book with 2 verses

Psalm 119 is an acrostic with each of the 22 eight verse sections corresponding to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The eight verses in each section begin with the same letter in proper sequence of the alphabet as designated at the head of each section beginning with Aleph and ending with Tau. This seems strange until we realize we are used to Alpha and Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet.
There are several designations for God’s Word which have a slightly different emphasis. They are Law, instruction or teaching; Word (words), is a general term for God’s revelation; Ordinances and Judgments are translations of the same Hebrew word and refer to legal orders and rules for divine administration;
Commandments are authoritative orders regarding religious principles; Precepts are injunctions related to man’s moral obligations as ordered by God; Testimonies a declaration of the will of God; Statutes refer to civil and religious decrees of the Mosaic law, and “Way” is the pattern of life described in the law and is used as a synonym for all of those terms. For our purpose we consider all of them somewhat synonymous with the “Word of God”.
Someone has described various ways the Psalmist looked at God’s Word. In v 9 it was Corrective; v 10 Protective;  v 18 Reflective; v 105 Directive; v 165 Objective.
Several things are repeated throughout the Psalm. His enemies are persistent and numerous, and he is sorely afflicted, but God’s Word is his hope. He loves to meditate upon it, allow it to be his guide, and trust and obey God all the more.

v 1-8 Those who obey God’s Laws are blessed.
v 9-16 A person is cleansed by keeping God’s Word. Learn God’s word, v 11.
v 17-24 The Psalmist trusted God’s Word and asked for further instruction.

25-32 He asks for reviving, understanding and strength, and he would obey.

v 33-40 Similar to last section plus wanting to turn from covetousness and vanity.

v 41-48 He would have salvation through God’s Word, love it , witness to others. 

v 49- 56 Though scorned for it, he had hope in God’s Word and sang about it.

v 57-64 He would obey God in the midst of enemies. His friends were believers.

v 65-72 He was slandered and afflicted, but it only increased his trust in God.

73-80 In faithfulness God afflicted him, but he had hope and delight in the Law.

v 81-88 He knows God is faithful and asks for vindication over his enemies.

v 89-96 God’s Word is sure and boundless, and sustained him during affliction.

v 97- 104 God’s Word is sweet, gave him superior wisdom and kept him pure.

105-112 God’s Word is a light for his path, so he will joyfully follow it.

v 113-120 He rebukes the wickedness he hates, but loves, stands in awe of God.

v 121-128 He again asks for vindication over enemies, loves Word but hates evil.  

136 He delighted in God’s wonderful Word that gives light and wanted it to direct him. He wept profusely as he saw the evil doing of the disobedient.

v 137-144 The Lord and His Word are righteous and he had great zeal for it.

v 145 -152 He asks for deliverance. The enemies are near but God is nearer.

153-160 He repeatedly asks to be revived, and loves God’s mercy and Word.

v 161-168 All who love God’s Word will have peace in the midst of trouble.

v 169-176 Through God’s Word he expected deliverance, even though he had gone astray. He would praise God and tell His Word to others.
