Aleph The First Letter

It is so interesting that these first 8 verse all begin with the letter Aleph, the first letter of the Aleph-bet

1. Happy (asre) is the blameless one who walks in their way of the LORDs Torah
2. Happy (asre) are they who guard his testimonies and seek him with all their heart
3. They (ap) also do not make iniquity in the way they walk
4. YOU (atah) have ordained your precepts to be kept diligently
5. Oh that (ahalay) my ways were established to keep your statues
6. Then (az) I would not be ashamed when I look into all your commandments
7. I will praise you (odkha - aleph is silent here) in uprightness of heart when I have learned of your righteous judgements.
8. (et, Aleph-Tav, not translated) Your Statues I will keep, do not forsake me!
