TSADHE - Psalm 119: 137-144
The longest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 119. If you turn to Psalm 119 in your Bible, you will notice that there is a strange word every 8 verses. These "strange" words are the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. David wrote this chapter in an acrostic pattern and every letter of the alphabet is followed by 8 verses. It is a chapter full of praise and worship. I thought it would be fun to study Psalm 119 by summarizing each alphabetic section in an acrostic format.
I did not know anything about the Hebrew language, so I did a little research. The Hebrew language is written from the right to the left - opposite of the English language. There are 22 letters to the Hebrew alphabet. Today we continue studying with the eighteenth letter
TSADHE.
I am also NOT a poet, so I had to research what an acrostic pattern meant.
An Acrostic Poem - is a poem where certain letters in each line spell out a word or phrase.
Example below.
TSADHE - Trustworthy are your Statutes, O Lord; they Are my Delight and your rigHteousness is Eternal

We begin by defining "statute" and "righteousness":
Statute - a law or decree made by a Sovereign or by God.
Righteousness - acting in accord with divine or moral law: free from guilt or sin. Justifiable, genuine, excellent.
The featured verses that we are studying today focus on righteousness, right, true, trustworthy.
- God is righteous (verse 137)
- God's laws are right (verse 137)
- His statutes are righteous (verse 138)
- God's statutes are fully trustworthy (verse 138)
- God's righteousness is everlasting (verse 142)(see picture above)
- His law is true (verse 129)(see picture above)
- God's statutes are "forever right" (verse 144) (see picture below)

This week let's strive to be righteous in every aspect of our life by following God's statutes.
