As a result, someone penned Psalm 112 to depict the man whom God had made righteous. Psalm 112 is a unique type of poetry. A poem is a lovely method to express yourself with words. The psalms are all Hebrew poetry, but some are acrostic compositions. The language of the *Jews was Hebrew. They wrote their Bible on it. It is one of the world's oldest languages. Hebrew has many different types of poems that follow certain rules when writing them. One such type of poem is called a *psalm*. The word comes from a Greek term meaning "a singing" or "a song". Although the term "psalm" refers to a whole section of the Bible, these poems were usually part of a collection of songs worshipers would sing during services. The Psalms show us how humans can come before God and be forgiven of their sins. Through these poems, the writer/saint requests forgiveness for his sinfulness. He also asks God to protect him like a shield. This must have been very helpful since the Israelites went through many battles while traveling with the Exodus story. After Moses died, he became part of this collection of songs we call the Psalms. They are spoken by people who feel guilty about their wrongdoings and want mercy. However, other people praise God for his greatness and ask him to save others.
