Scope and Contents

Moss writes,"Psalm 119 is a long, brilliant ode, praise, and paean to Torah itself...This work of art was my attempt to create a version of psalm 119 that highlights its intimate connection with the Hebrew alphabet, reflects its length and structure and relates to its prime theme of Torah.. ..I drew out an alphabet and wrote as much of the text as I could for each letter in micrography, outlining the letter itself...I continued the text by filling in the borders around the letters and around the whole text." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
