String of Pearls - Psalm 119

Sermons in series

Show all 0 sermons

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!

Psalms 119:145-152

145   With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD!
    I will keep your statutes.
146   I call to you; save me,
    that I may observe your testimonies.
147   I rise before dawn and cry for help;
    I hope in your words.
148   My eyes are awake before the watches of the night,
    that I may meditate on your promise.
149   Hear my voice according to your steadfast love;
    O LORD, according to your justice give me life.
150   They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose;
    they are far from your law.
151   But you are near, O LORD,
    and all your commandments are true.
152   Long have I known from your testimonies
    that you have founded them forever.

(ESV)
