Psalms 119:9-16 NKJV Beth
How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word.
(10) With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
(11) Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.
(12) Blessed are You, O LORD!
Teach me Your statutes.
(13) With my lips I have declared
All the judgments of Your mouth.
(14) I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
As much as in all riches.
(15) I will meditate on Your precepts,
And contemplate Your ways. (
16) I will delight myself in Your statutes;
I will not forget Your word.

Psalms 119 Explanation: Psalms 119 is the longest chapter in the bible. But remember. Psalms contain individual writings from multiple sources, so each “chapter” is like an eBook. Most psalms are better read as one would a poem. Break the chapter into small subsections of a sentence, and you’ll get the idea.
B.C. 444, This Psalm, which was probably composed by Ezra, is another of the alphabetical Psalms. It consists of twenty-two parts, answering to the number of the Hebrew letters, every part being divided into eight verses, and each verse beginning with that letter which forms the title of the part; that is, the first part of eight verses with א, the second with ב, etc. It is an elegant, important, and useful composition, the chief subjects of which are the excellence of God’s laws and the happiness of those who observe them.
Each psalm references God’s Word using many phrases and words:
Law, Testimonies, Precepts, Commandments, Statues, etc.
