Alphabetic Verses: AV Psalm 111

AV Psalm 111 contains all the letters of the alphabet in their standard order, but it differs from most Alphabetic Psalms in that there are two clauses for consecutive letters in each verse until the final two verses which contain three clauses each. It opens with the phrase הללו יה (Halellu Yah, Praise the Lord) and then follows with the alphabetic sequence. The elements of each verse associated with the corresponding letter are highlighted.

א

Aleph (1): I will praise the LORD with my whole heart,
 

This clause reveals one of the fundamental grammatical functions of Aleph, which expresses the idea of I Will when it is prefixed to a verb. It is discussed in detail in the article on the Aleph verse of AV Psalm 145 and the Spoke 1 article God's Sovereign Will: Aleph in Hebrew Grammar.

 
ב

Bet (2): In in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
 

This clause exhibits the meaning and grammatical function of Beyt. Its name means House - a place distinguishing between "in" and "out" - so when prefixed to a word it signifies the preposition "in," "with" or "by." This manifests prominently in the chapter structures (Inner Cycles) of both Isaiah and Matthew.

 
ג

Gimel (3): The works of the LORD are great,
 

The clause opens with the Gimel KeyWord גדול (gadol, great/majestic). God used this root in the Gimel-verses of Psalm 34 and Psalm 145. It reveals the character and function of the Holy Spirit Who delights in glorifying and magnifying God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ.

 
ד

Dalet (4): sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
 

This verse opens with דרש (darash, to seek) which relates to דרך (derekh, way). These KeyWords play an important role on Spoke 4. Both of these words are common in the alphabetic verses corresponding to Dalet. They are found united in a few verses, most notably Isaiah 55.5-6:

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

 
ה

Hey (5): His work is honourable and glorious:
 

This verse opens with the phrase הוד והדר (hod v'hadar) translated as "honourable and glorious." Both of these Hey KeyWords are also used together (in reverse order) in the Hey verse of Psalm 145. Though neither of these is the word used to express "honour thy father and mother" in the Fifth Commandment, they do express the same idea.

 
ו

Vav (6): and his righteousness endureth for ever.
 

As with all the alphabetic verses corresponding to Vav, this verse opens with Vav prefix to a word, which is how the conjunction "and" or "but" is written in Hebrew. It ultimately integrates with the Number Six is the Number of Man, Work, and Cosmos (See BW book, pg 199).

 
ז

Zayin (7): He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered
 

This verse opens with זכר (zakhar, remember/memory). It integrates with the command to remember the Seventh Day in the Fourth Commandment. There is a complex set of meanings associated with the Number 7, Sabbath, and the Number Four. I will discuss them when I get more time. This KeyWord is also used in Psalm 145.

 
ח

Chet (8): the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
 

This verse opens with the Chet KeyWord חנון (chanuwn, gracious) from the root חן (chen, grace). Exactly the same phrase is used in the Chet verse of Psalm 145.

 
ט

Tet (9): He hath given meat unto them that fear him:
 

This verse opens with טרף (tereph, meat/prey). I don't have any insight on this word yet.

 
י

Yod (10): he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
 

This is an example of the grammatical function of Yod which is prefixed to a word to indicate a third person action like "he will" or "he is." This manifest most clearly in the Tetragrammaton, the personal Name of God יהוה (YHVH). It can be viewed as derived from the root הוה (havah, "there is" or "to be") prefixed with the letter Yod (the Letter of Action, Hand), which transforms it into the third person masucline singlular. In other words, YHVH means "He who is".

 
כ

Kaph (11): He hath shewed his people the power of his works,
 

This clause opens with Kaph KeyWord כח (Ko'ach, Power). It plays an important role in Micah on the second cycle of Spoke 11.

 
ל

Lamed (12): that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
 

When Lamed is prefix to a word, it indicates the preposition "to" or "for". It is used in this sense in most of the Alphabetic Verses. Lamed's grammatical function coheres with its literal meaning as an ox-goad or pointer, and with its verbal meaning "to teach." It is the root of Talmud - the great collection of learned Rabinical expositions. This plays an essential role on Spoke 12

 
מ

Mem (13): The works of his hands are verity and judgment;
 

This clause opens with מעשי (ma'asei, work of) which is the masculine plural construct form of מעשה (ma'aseh, work/deed.) This is an example of how substantive nouns are formed by prefixing a Mem to a triliteral verb. This integrates with the other grammatical function of Mem which indicates the preposition "of" or "from" when prefixed to a word. In this case, we have the root verb עשה (a'asah, act/to Do) prefixed with a Mayim to make the noun ma'aseh, which means an action, work, or deed.

This verse declares that all the works of his hands are verity. The word translated as vertity is the fundamental Hebrew word אמת (emet, truth). This word has a
