Eight stanzas commence with one letter, and then another eight with the next letter, and so the whole Psalm proceeds by octonaries quite through the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
Example. The first eight verses commence with Aleph, and may be alphabetically rendered thus:
1. All they that are undefiled in the way, walking in the law of the Lord, are blessed.
2. All they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart, are blessed.
3. Also they do no iniquity: They walk in his ways.
4. All thy precepts diligently to keep thou hast commanded us.
5. Ah, Lord! That my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
6. Ashamed I shall never be, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
7. Always will I praise thee, with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
8. All thy statues will I keep: O forsake me not utterly.
22 Christ as alpha and omega is the building blocks of God’s language through which the mind and will of God is
spelled out
8 With the power of resurrection the Word of God went through death and conquered the death and came out
triumphantly throughout Church history. It is with the same quickening power, the Bible readers are led into the
experiences of death and resurrection. INDICE

desired a church glorious
