responding while reading

The book of Psalms is unique because most of them used to be sung rather than read.  I have always thought that it's a tragedy that we don't know the melodies used.  One place where the rhythm and response of the writer comes through with great clarity.  It's in the longest psalm.  Psalm 119 was written in acrostic fashion with the letters of the Hebrew alphabet becoming the first letter of each phrase in order.  This helped the hearers remember in association with the Hebrew alphabet.  I find this really interesting, but since I only know enough Hebrew to be dangerous, it's the literary expression that conveys the meaning.  The author is thinking about the Law of the Lord and how he or she wants to communicate the value of it to the next generation.  Their explanation conveys it all.  It's in the middle of the Psalm at verse 97 or the "M" part of the Hebrew alphabet.

Psa. 119:97       Oh how I love your law!
        It is my meditation all the day.

May our attitude toward Scripture be the same!  Praise God!
