Psalms 119:165

Peace (Hebr. shalom – wholeness, completeness)
is great
for those who love
your teaching (Torah),
nothing
can bring them
down.
[This verse consists of seven Hebrew words, the first of which is shalom. This is the only time the word appears in the entire Psalm 119. The word shalom is written with four letters Shin, Lamed, Vav and Mem. Interestingly, the first letter of every other word (the first, third, fifth, and seventh words) in this verse is one of these four letters. Coded in every other first letter of this verse is the greeting of peace—shalom! Central to this seven-word verse is God's teaching – Torah! The letter Shin is the twenty-first (3 x 7) letter of the alphabet! All this symbolism with the perfect number seven is also found in the twenty-first section of Psalm 119 (verses 161–168), which in turn is central to the seventh section with the last three letters Resh, Shin and Tav (verses 153–176), gives extra emphasis. Those who put God's teaching at the center of their lives have perfect peace and nothing can bring them down! Something that is also illustrated literally with perfect balance in the language.]
