This psalm is part of a matched set, together with the previous one. Both this psalm and Ps. 111 are alphabetic psalms, with each portion beginning with the next letter in the Hebrew alphabet. As a consequence, the two psalms are right around the same length, and there are frequent echoes. The theme of the former is the glory of God, and the theme of the latter is the glory of God as reflected in the life of the godly man.
