119 which is an acrostic Psalm....each 8 verse set starts with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet....and when one studies through you will find the path of a man that begins his walk with the Lord and the growing process that leads to a mature servant of Christ......very good Psalm....
the first 8 verses starts with Aleph the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet and Aleph means 1st or primary....so we can deduce that the 1st 8 verses equates to the primary reason for man's existence.....
To walk with the Lord, keep his word, follow his statutes and bring glory to God......
