Thank you for this. It provided an opportunity for me to reflect. The first acrostic I learned was as a child in Sunday school, the simple A.C.T.S. acrostic about prayer. Years later as I began studying the Bible more intently, I was amazed at the masterwork acrostic in Psalm 119, the longest verse in the Bible.
I’m so glad this spoke to you, Greg. Studying the Psalms is a continual deep-dive into the immense mercy of God and his word, which meets us right where we are.
This Psalm is such a gift to us as it calls out the wonder of God’s faithful works, and the many great gifts to us in our redemption! I always have delighted in the pairing of Ps 111 with Ps 112, the blessings of a man who “fears the Lord.”

That’s so good, Chuck, thanks for sharing. And you’re right, Psalm 111 and 112 are very similar in their themes and tones.
