PSALM 119

It has as acrostic format, all 22 letters of the Hebrew Alphabet are represented in sections of 8 verse stanzas. Psalm 119 conveys What the Word of God is. What the Word of God does for us and to us. How we should walk in light of the word. The benefits of knowing the Word. The fruit of walking in the Truth of the Word. In Jesus' day, the first portion of scripture children were taught to memorize was Psalm 119. It is sad that we no longer treasure these truths by teaching them to children with intention. It would seem to me to be a good reason why we should pay more attention to this Psalm and the study of it, and what it says to us today. The Psalmist starts the Psalm with a beatitude , he encourages us to walk uprightly and throughout the Psalm he brings us back to the importance which we should apply to delving into the study of the Word and the importance of applying the truth we find in the Word. We can only live in righteousness when we have encountered the living God Himself and the one who is the living Word Christ Jesus our Lord. We need the help and power of the third person of the trinity to do so, we need to be Spirit led in all we do and let the Spirit guide us in understanding of the Scriptures. There is a saying that is so true if you have the Word without the Spirit you will dry up and if you have the Spirit without the Word you will blow up. We as Evangelical Christians in the 21st Century need to find a balance of both the Word and the Spirit, we need both. They are equally important and so necessary. Pro 4:20 My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Pro 4:21 Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. Pro 4:22 For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. Pro 4:23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. Pro 4:24 Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. Pro 4:25 Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Pro 4:26 Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Pro 4:27 Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.

Psa 119:60 I hasten and do not delay to keep your commandments. Lord you are my portion, my everything, I will follow you, There is nothing I have done to merit your favour, yet by your grace I have been redeemed, The ways of mankind are foolish indeed but I choose to follow you, I run to you, let me testimony be that you I have followed. Psa 119:61 Psa 119:62 Psa 119:63 Psa 119:64 Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget your law. At midnight I rise to praise you, because of your righteous rules. I am a companion of all who fear you, of those who keep your precepts. The earth, O LORD, is full of your steadfast love; teach me your statutes!

Although temptation comes my way, I choose to walk in righteousness, I dream about you in the night hour, I rise up and give you praise for you are good, I seek to fellowship with like minded people, those who are your followers, The whole earth Lord proclaims your goodness and steadfast love, I will by you be directed.

Psa 119:65 Psa 119:66 Psa 119:67 Psa 119:68

You have dealt well with your servant, O LORD, according to your word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word. You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.

Lord your Word is true, all your promises you have kept in accordance with your Word, Lord give me wisdom, may I rightly discern your ways, Lord I used to walk my own way, but you turned me around, You are so good, I want to walk in your kind of righteousness, teach me your way.

It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes. The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

I will not listen to the devils lies, I open my ears to hear from you alone, This world is full of clamouring noises, but I will seek your face, Lifes struggles have taught me that I must place my trust in you alone, Treasures of this world are worthless in comparison to treasure built up in heavenly places. Psa 119:73 Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments. Psa 119:74 Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice, because I have hoped in your word. Psa 119:75 I know, O LORD, that your rules are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me. Psa 119:76 Let your steadfast love comfort me according to your promise to your servant. By your hands I have been created, now I am adopted into your family, a son and an heir, May all I come in contact with see you in me, as your truth and loving kindness I share, Lord you are good, you are always good and always faithful, Thank you Lord for your steadfast love which to me is experiential. Psa 119:77 Let your mercy come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight.

Psa 119:78 Let the insolent be put to shame, because they have wronged me with falsehood; as for me, I will meditate on your precepts. Psa 119:79 Let those who fear you turn to me, that they may know your testimonies. Psa 119:80 May my heart be blameless in your statutes, that I may not be put to shame! It is real joy to know you Lord, I give you praise for the promise of life eternal, I forgive those who have hurt me, and those who have sinned against me, May I be a living testimony to you, may Christ be seen in me, Help me to resist every temptation, Lord I give you my all.

Psa 119:81 Psa 119:82 Psa 119:83 Psa 119:84

My soul longs for your salvation; I hope in your word. My eyes long for your promise; I ask, "When will you comfort me?" For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, yet I have not forgotten your statutes. How long must your servant endure? When will you judge those who persecute me?

Lord the desire of my heart is to see you face to face, my hope is in you, I long to see the fullness of your glory, I stand in awe of you, I have experienced trials in this life but have known the strengthening power of your Spirit, For you saved me, you healed me, you comforted me and my needs have been met. Psa 119:85 Psa 119:86 Psa 119:87 Psa 119:88 The insolent have dug pitfalls for me; they do not live according to your law. All your commandments are sure; they persecute me with falsehood; help me! They have almost made an end of me on earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts. In your steadfast love give me life, that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.

I am in a battle of spiritual warfare but I know that in and through you I am an overcomer, I shall walk in the place of victory proclaiming your truth dear Lord and Saviour, Even if I face most certain death, I will not deny you, I will testify to your goodness, You are the true life giver, you breathed life into me, may I be counted among the righteous.

Psa 119:89 Forever, O LORD, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens. Psa 119:90 Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast. Psa 119:91 By your appointment they stand this day, for all things are your servants. Psa 119:92 If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. And today Jesus, the living Word, sits at your right hand on high, and shall reign forever more, You are faithful to all generations, our creator who hangs the universe in balance, Help me to appreciate your greatness, fixing my eyes on you, not just giving you a mere glance, Where would I be without your free gift of salvation, freely given, dear Lord and Saviour? Psa 119:93 Psa 119:94 Psa 119:95 Psa 119:96 I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given me life. I am yours; save me, for I have sought your precepts. The wicked lie in wait to destroy me, but I consider your testimonies. I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commandment is exceedingly broad.

Holy Spirit come and fill me afresh, increase the eyes of my understanding as I read your Word, I give you praise, to God be the glory for now I know with a surety I belong to you Lord, When things of this world come against me I remember your constant love.

You are the Holy one, complete perfection, I fix my mind on things above. Psa 119:97 Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day. Psa 119:98 Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. Psa 119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation. Psa 119:100 I understand more than the aged, for I keep your precepts. I love your Word, I love spending time with you, I seek your face daily, It is your wisdom that I seek, I sought to gain the wisdom of this world but it didnt work for me, When I am led by your Spirit I can love like you love and deal with others fairly, Your kind of wisdom far surpasses the wisdom gained by age, I need you Lord teaching me. Psa 119:101 Psa 119:102 Psa 119:103 Psa 119:104 I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your word. I do not turn aside from your rules, for you have taught me. How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

I declare that because Jesus has triumphed over the grave darkness is spiritually under my feet, I will not walk the other way, I seek your face and learn of you, I will not enter a place of defeat, Your words are like honey to my mouth, you spoke forth and the earth came into being, Lord to you may I be true, help me to gain in knowledge and understanding. Psa 119:105 Psa 119:106 Psa 119:107 Psa 119:108 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to keep your righteous rules. I am severely afflicted; give me life, O LORD, according to your word! Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O LORD, and teach me your rules.

Your Spirit speaks to me as I read your Word, and you direct my paths, I have promised to serve you to the end, help me to walk in obedience, I was sick and afflicted, you came and you healed me and made me whole, Make clear my path, teach me your ways, and I offer up my praise forever more. Psa 119:109 Psa 119:110 Psa 119:111 Psa 119:112 I hold my life in my hand continually, but I do not forget your law. The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not stray from your precepts. Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart. I incline my heart to perform your statutes forever, to the end.

I have a choice before me every day as to who I will serve, but I choose to follow you, I will not fall for the enemies lies, I will stay strong in the Word, and stay close to you, Lord it is only in knowing you I can find such wonderful peace and joy, Father give me your heart, I want to have a heart after yours, and serve you all of my days.

Psa 119:113 I hate the double-minded, but I love your law. Psa 119:114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word. Psa 119:115 Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God. Psa 119:116 Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope! Lord keep me from being double minded in any way, I will serve you always,

How wonderful to know I am under your protection, you are my hiding place, In Jesus Name I declare that I am more than a conqueror for Christ my Lord strengthens me, Your promises are yes and amen, I will remember that in your Name demons must flee. Psa 119:117 Psa 119:118 Psa 119:119 Psa 119:120 Hold me up, that I may be safe and have regard for your statutes continually! You spurn all who go astray from your statutes, for their cunning is in vain. All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross, therefore I love your testimonies. My flesh trembles for fear of you, and I am afraid of your judgments.

Help me to stand firm upon the rock that is Christ Jesus, living only for you, All the days of my life I will tune my ears to hear your voice and I will follow you, What you say I will do, I want to do your will each and every day, I stand in awe of you, I love your sweet presence, please Lord dont ever take your Spirit away. Psa 119:121 Psa 119:122 Psa 119:123 Psa 119:124 I have done what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors. Give your servant a pledge of good; let not the insolent oppress me. My eyes long for your salvation and for the fulfillment of your righteous promise. Deal with your servant according to your steadfast love, and teach me your statutes.

I am blessed, and not oppressed, pressed down but not forsaken, I have the confidence that you are with me always and my sins are forgiven, You give me joy in this present time but I know it is nothing compared to the joy that is to come, Thank you Lord for your favour, you pour out your love beyond measure, how awesome! Psa 119:125 Psa 119:126 Psa 119:127 Psa 119:128 I am your servant; give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies! It is time for the LORD to act, for your law has been broken. Therefore I love your commandments above gold, above fine gold. Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right; I hate every false way.

Lord I seek more revelation knowledge that I might gain in understanding. Lord I repent on behalf of my nation for in our foolishness we have gone our own way, There are a number of us Lord who have sought you for direction, Lord bring the people in high places to repentance that they may no longer go astray. Psa 119:129 Psa 119:130 Psa 119:131 Psa 119:132 Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them. The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple. I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commandments. Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is your way with those who love your name.

In your footsteps I will walk, my soul craves for you alone, Your Word is a light unto my soul, the Holy Spirit brings such amazing clarity, There is such wonderful power in your spoken Word therefore my mouth I will open, To proclaim forth your Name and I will be blessed and favoured by you now and through eternity.

Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your statutes. My eyes shed streams of tears, because people do not keep your law.

Make my way straight, keep me walking along with you,

Help me to resist temptation, for you are the object of my pursuit Help me to choose the better way, to pursue you in the secret place, And Lord you have gifted me with a passion to see the lost saved. Psa 119:137 Psa 119:138 Psa 119:139 Psa 119:140 Righteous are you, O LORD, and right are your rules. You have appointed your testimonies in righteousness and in all faithfulness. My zeal consumes me, because my foes forget your words. Your promise is well tried, and your servant loves it.

Lord you alone are totally righteous, I lean unto the wind to be changed, To become more and more like you, by the Holy Spirit transformed, A zeal and a passion consumes me and I hate to hear people defame your name, You alone are God, there is no other, people encounter you and they can never be the same. Psa 119:141 Psa 119:142 Psa 119:143 Psa 119:144 I am small and despised, yet I do not forget your precepts. Your righteousness is righteous forever, and your law is true. Trouble and anguish have found me out, but your commandments are my delight. Your testimonies are righteous forever; give me understanding that I may live.

I am not much by earthly standards, yet you have chosen me to follow you, I stand in awe and wonder, you are the Holy one whose promises are true, In this life I have not had my troubles to seek, but in you I delight, You are Holy and righteous and you have said that I am precious in your sight.

The enemy tries to take me down, but I will overcome by the blood of the Lamb and my testimony, How can people who say that they are believers not walk by faith? Lord I pray for those people to have real encounters with you, and gain knowledge and revelation, That they too might know you, really know you and be named among the saints. Psa 119:161 Psa 119:162 Psa 119:163 Psa 119:164 Princes persecute me without cause, but my heart stands in awe of your words. I rejoice at your word like one who finds great spoil.
