Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with

an acrostic song as we pick up in Psalm chapter 119 verse 1.

And now with today's message here's faster chalk.

All of the lines in the first eight verses begin with the Hebrew letter Aleph or A.

In the next eight verses all of the lines begin with the Hebrew letter Beth B

all of the verses in the next Psal begin with Gimel and so on through the whole Hebrew alphabet

is here in this song eight verses devoted to each letter each verse of the eight beginning

with that letter. Now the Hebrew children in learning their alphabet were required to

memorize this 119th Psalm.

It would probably be a little easier for them to memorize it because of the fact of it being an across stake.

Because of the A's and the B's and the C's, and it would be extremely difficult for us to memorize it because we would not have the

same ability to relate it to the A and the B and the C as they did. But it is of course the longest what they call

chapter in the Bible. It really, Psalms really aren't chapters, they are each one Psalms.
