Psalms 119:145-152 KOPH
I cry out with my whole heart;
Hear me, O LORD! I will keep Your statutes.
(146) I cry out to You;
Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.
(147) I rise before the dawning of the morning,
And cry for help; I hope in Your word.
(148) My eyes are awake through the night watches,
That I may meditate on Your word.
(149) Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;
O LORD, revive me according to Your justice.
(150) They draw near who follow after wickedness;
They are far from Your law.
(151) You are near, O LORD,
And all Your commandments are truth.
(152) Concerning Your testimonies,
I have known of old that You have founded them forever.
Keywords of God’s Law: Statutes, Testimonies, Word, Justice, Law,
Notice the last verse, and I’ll tell you my thoughts. I believe what we begin learning as a child will stay with us as long as we keep the Word alive. In our minds and hearts, we are ever prompting our actions to stay close to His Word. But drown them out with replacement theories and thoughts, and you will struggle to return to that central path. It’s really up to us individually, daily, to be in Word and Prayer. That’s the key to success.
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.
