This study resolves the problem of the thematic coherence of Psalm 119, arguing the Psalm is structurally arranged to show the Psalmist’s own experience of straying and returning to YHWH’s Torah. This has implications for the organisation of the Fifth Book of the Psalter and for the place of Psalms such as 111 and 147, which also reflect on Torah.
