Psalm 119 Meditations and Prayers Relating to the Law of God

This is the sixteenth 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 it verse by verse.

Ayin. February 8, 2016

¹²¹ I have done justice and righteousness;
Do not leave me to my oppressors.

Father, I have kept your just laws and surrendered my life to you;

Don’t abandon me to this corrupt and lost world.

¹²² Be surety for Your servant for good;
Do not let the arrogant oppress me.

Father, Go to bat for me, your Christ follower for good;

Don’t let proud, know-it-all acquaintances get me down.

¹²³ My eyes fail with longing for Your salvation
And for Your righteous word.

Father, My eyes yearn to see the salvation of family members; for your word to penetrate their hearts.

¹²⁴ Deal with Your servant according to Your lovingkindness
And teach me Your statutes.

Father, Be gentle with me according to your great love,

I’m a work in progress, teach me your Word.

¹²⁵ I am Your servant; give me understanding,
That I may know Your testimonies.

Lord, I am yours, I bow before you, give me discernment,

So I will follow Your will and way in all my days ahead.

¹²⁶ It is time for the Lord to act,
For they have broken Your law.

Father, I believe it is about time for You to act,

The world is lost and many don’t value or keep your law.

¹²⁷ Therefore I love Your commandments
Above gold, yes, above fine gold.

Father, Thank you for drawing me back so I love and worship you and support your church, I value this knowledge above all else, it is more precious than anything else.

¹²⁸ Therefore I esteem right all Your precepts concerning everything,
I hate every false way.

Father, I value highly all your directions for life, your will for everything,

I cringe and despise every false way.

Blessings, Dottie
