Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.

A.

3560. B.C.

444. This Psalm, which was probably composed by Ezra, is another of the alphabetical Psalm: it consists of twenty-two parts, answering to the number of the Hebrew letters; every part being divided into eight verses, and each verse beginning with that letter which forms the title of the part; that is, the first part of eight verses. It is an elegant important, and useful composition; the chief subjects of which are the excellence of God's laws, and the happiness of those who observe them.
