Acrostic Psalms are also known by which title?

• A. Alphabetical Psalms
• B. Numerical Psalms
• C. Acrostic Psalms
• D. Wisdom Psalms

Answer: (A)

These Psalms use the Hebrew alphabet in order, with each line or section beginning with the next letter. That pattern gives them the label Alphabetical Psalms, which is the standard scholarly title for this form. Psalm 119 is a clear example, organized into twenty-two sections, each starting with a different letter of the Hebrew alphabet, showcasing the precise alphabetical progression. While the phrase Acrostic Psalms describes the feature, Alphabetical Psalms is the conventional name used to identify this form in study contexts. Numerical Psalms would imply a numerically structured pattern, which isn’t the defining feature here, and Wisdom Psalms refer to themes rather than the alphabetical arrangement.
