“The number eight in the Word has the meaning of resurrection, death is gone and life has come. Israel has passed from death to life and now extols the Word and the Law of God. The time has come when it is fulfilled what the Lord spoke through Jeremiah concerning the New Covenant, ‘I will put my Law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts.’ We behold then in this Psalm the joy of Israel in knowing the Word, in Praising the Word and being obedient to the Word. In each verse except verses 90 and 122 the Word is mentioned and the following terms are employed: Law, Commandment, Word, Saying, Path, Way, Testimonies, Judgments, Precepts and Statutes.” (Pages 308–309)
