That’s one of my favorite Psalms ever. It really is a beautiful portrait of a man completely focused on God and having a true relationship with him. A work of art for believers to relish.

Indeed!

And it’s even Better in the Hebrew.

In each stanza, every line begins with the same letter that is the title of the stanza (In “Aleph” every line begins with “A” and so on. None of the English translations could accomplish this amazing feat without being awkward and choppy.

But the Hebrew just flows along...It really is, as you say, a work of art.
