- Why Alpha and Omega? It is the first and last. The Aleph/Tav, are the first and last letters, the Alpha and Omega, of the Hebrew alphabet. They are the letters used to first introduce God in the Bible, the beginning and the end. Alef and Tav describe the first mention of God in the bible, Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God (את) created the heavens and the earth.” It is also the prophetic name of Jesus from Zechariah 12:10, "Also they will look on Me (את) whom they have pierced."
- Psalm 119 is surrounded by Psalm 118:8, the center of the bible, “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man,” and Psalm 120 which starts the Psalms of Ascent. These are the Psalms Hebrews spoke when climbing the first of 15 steps to the temple where they gathered to worship the Lord.
- Every eight verses of Psalm 119 are dedicated to a letter of the Hebrew alphabet from beginning “Aleph” to end “Tav” or the Alpha and Omega.

68 You are good, and do good; Teach me Your statutes.
69 The proud have forged a lie against me, But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease, But I delight in Your law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes.
