WhatsApp Copy

83

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

WhatsApp Copy

84

How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

Chapter Study & Analysis

Overview

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible, an acrostic tribute to the Word of God. It explores the beauty, authority, and necessity of God’s law, statutes, and testimonies.

CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS

3. Affliction as a Teacher: "It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes" (v. 71). God uses trials to deepen our understanding of His Truth.
