Psalm 119, lavishly described as \'twenty-two pearls upon one string\', is concerned with the Word of God and, like a precious jewel, it displays the many facets, lights and aspects of that Word. It has been well said that this psalm is a prolonged meditation upon the excellence of God\'s Word and its effects, and the strength and happiness it gives to those on whose hearts it is engraved. In a day when the doctrine of Scripture is under so much attack, how important it is that we take our views of God\'s Word actually from God\'s Word itself!

The Way of Blessing

Tom Sweatman, Psalms 119:1 - 119:8, 18 August 2013

Psalms 119:1 - 119:8

119:1   Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
    who walk in the law of the LORD!
2   Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
    who seek him with their whole heart,
3   who also do no wrong,
    but walk in his ways!
4   You have commanded your precepts
    to be kept diligently.
5   Oh that my ways may be steadfast
    in keeping your statutes!
6   Then I shall not be put to shame,
    having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
7   I will praise you with an upright heart,
    when I learn your righteous rules.
8   I will keep your statutes;
    do not utterly forsake me!

(ESV)
