Hermeneutics  by 
Charles H.Spurgeon

The Bible, written in the Hebrew language, has used around 8,000 words only. But despite its limited number of words, it is a rich language because of its variations and combinations of meaning. At first glance, Psalm 119 may look redundant, but the author used those limited words in fresh ways that exhibit another shade of meaning. For example, in one verse, the psalmist is bearing witness; in the next verse, he is praising; and in the third verse, he is praying. This commentary about Psalm 119 is not published initially as one book but a part of a book. But since only huge libraries can hold such a series of thick volumes, small parts were printed separately to find their way to the hands of simple readers. It is the ardent hope of the author that this book may help fan the flames in our hearts to worship God.
