Psalm 119 Meditations and Prayers Relating to the Law of God

This is the eighth section of Psalm 119 – the longest chapter and the longest Psalm in the Bible. There are 8 different terms referring to Scripture used through out. These are: law, testimonies, precepts, statutes, commandments, judgments, word and ordinances. I'm journaling through this Psalm and have found it very meaningful.

Heth. 

⁵⁷ The Lord is my portion;
I have promised to keep Your words.

Father, You are the lover of my soul,

I promise to keep close to you and keep your words.

⁵⁸ I sought Your favor with all my heart;
Be gracious to me according to Your word.

Father, I seek you with all my heart, most of the time. Help me give my all to you.

Be kind and gracious to me as your word promises.

⁵⁹ I considered my ways
And turned my feet to Your testimonies.

Father, I think about my purpose now in life and seek your direction

I am studying your Word daily.

 
⁶⁰ I hastened and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.

Father, I hurry and don’t linger

To obey Your commandments.

⁶¹ The cords of the wicked have encircled me,
But I have not forgotten Your law.

Father, an evil world view had trapped my world,

But I am now wrapped up in your your law, your church, and your love.

⁶² At midnight I shall rise to give thanks to You
Because of Your righteous ordinances.

Father, I give thanks to you every time I wake up during the night.

Thank you for your righteous laws and your righteous character.

⁶³ I am a companion of all those who fear You,
And of those who keep Your precepts.

Father, I am friends with those who fear and love You,

And the true believers who keep your commands.

⁶⁴ The earth is full of Your loving kindness, O Lord;
Teach me Your statutes.

Father, This world is full of Your unfailing love,

Teach me your commands and your ways.

Blessings, Dottie
