“The earth is filled with your love, Lord; teach me your decrees.” —Psalm 119:64 (NIV)

“Lord, you love everyone on earth; please teach me what to do.” —Psalm 119:64 (FBV)

“Your love, God, fills the earth! Train me to live by your counsel.” —Psalm 119:57‭-‬64 (MSG)

“Give me more revelation of your ways, for I see your love and tender care everywhere. Your extravagant kindness to me makes me want to follow your words even more! Teach me how to make good decisions, and give me revelation-light, for I believe in your commands. Before I was humbled I used to always wander astray, but now I see the wisdom of your words. Everything you do is beautiful, flowing from your goodness; teach me the power of your wonderful words!” —Psalm 119:64‭-‬68 (TPT)

“10 Things to Know About Psalm 119” By Kevin Halloran:

“Many of us desire to love God’s Word more, but are unsure of how to cultivate those desires. Psalm 119 is a heartfelt prayer from the Psalmist that can be used as a tool to transform your affections to love God’s Word more. Here are 10 Things to Know about Psalm 119:

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible with 176 verses. It has a similar length to some of the Bible’s shorter books like Philippians, James, or Ruth!

The purpose of this Psalm is to celebrate God’s word and instruction to his people. It is used in Jewish tradition to celebrate Rosh Hashanah (which is Jewish New Year). This holiday is the first of a series of holidays called Yamim Nora’im, or in English ‘Days of Awe.’ It is fitting to use this psalm in that setting because the Psalmist beautifully expresses awe and adoration of God for his Word. Here is one verse commonly used in this celebration: “The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.” Psalm 119:72

The structure of Psalm 119 is comprised of 22 stanzas, each starting with a different letter in the Hebrew alphabet. Each stanza has 8 verses with two lines each.

There is a tradition in the Eastern Orthodox Church that King David used this psalm to teach his son Solomon both the Hebrew alphabet and the “alphabet of the spiritual life.”

Many of the verses mention God’s Word in one line, and then in the second line connect it to God’s revelation. Other words used to describe God’s revelation are: law, testimonies, precepts, statutes, commandments, word, and rules.

Psalm 119 is a prayer that includes many different elements, including prayers of praise (45-48), lament (81-88), vindication (132-134), obedience (57-64), and petitions for wisdom (33-40).

David Powlison observes, “Psalm 119 is actually not about the topic of getting Scripture into your life. Instead, it is the honest words that erupt when what God says gets into you. It’s not an exhortation to Bible study; it’s an outcry of faith…Psalm 119 is the thoughtful outcry that rises when real life meets real God.” (Speaking the Truth in Love, p. 14). “It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.” Psalm 119:71

Charles Spurgeon liked this Psalm so much, he said, “we might do well to commit it to memory.” That’s a tall order for a Psalm that has 176 verses! He also had this to say about it from his Psalm 119 commentary: “As those who drink the Nile water like it better every time they take a draught, so does this Psalm become more full and fascinating the oftener you turn to it.”

The song “Thy Word” by Amy Grant is based on one of the most memorable verses from this beloved Psalm, verse 105 which says, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (KJV). You can listen to the song here.

Use this Psalm as a tuning fork to tune your heart to love God’s Word more. Read the psalm straight through and pray that God will shape your life and heart to love him and his Word more!”

I am laid low in the dust; preserve my life according to your word. I gave an account of my ways and you answered me; teach me your decrees. Cause me to understand the way of your precepts, that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds. My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. Keep me from deceitful ways; be gracious to me and teach me your law. I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws. I hold fast to your statutes, Lord; do not let me be put to shame. I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding.

Psalms 119:25‭-‬32 NIV

You don’t have to wander in the darkness. The world is so very dark. But, we don’t have to wander around because his word is our light. He will speak to us.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path (shows me the way).” Psalm‬ ‭119:105‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“If your instructions (the Bible) hadn’t sustained me with joy, I would have died in my misery. I will never forget your commandments, for by them you give me life.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:92-93‬ ‭NLT‬‬

"My soul faints with longing for your salvation,

but I have put my hope in your word.

My eyes fail, looking for your promise;

I say, 'When will you comfort me?'

Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke,

I do not forget your decrees."

- Psalm 119:81-83

Consistently seeking the kingdom of God

In order to receive the benefit of God’s instruction, we must become saturated with it. Psalm 1:1-3 – How happy is the one who does not walk in the advice of the wicked or stand in the pathway with sinners or sit in the company of mockers! Instead, his delight is in the Yahweh’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams that bears its…

A academic reflection of Dallas Willard's "Renovation of the Heart"

What book would you recommend? “That’s interesting, I’d like to know something about spirituality. Can you recommend something for me to read that would be helpful?” Introduction This essay is framed in the context of Christianity. Spirituality must be viewed from our own lived experience and our weltanschauung[1] and it would be disingenuous to not be authentically Christian and…

“3 Powerful Truths from the Longest Chapter in the Bible” By Bible Love Notes:

“Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible, filled with wonderful truths. Let me focus on three powerful verses we all should memorize.

1. Verse 89: “Your word, LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.”

Cultural values change constantly, but God’s moral commands and principles stand firm. They're relevant in every age in history, in every location around the globe. Only God could offer wisdom that universal and permanent.

2. Verse 90: “Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you established the earth, and it endures.”

This verse builds on the eternal nature of God’s character. Hebrews 13:8 confirms this truth: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” When the world rejects God's established design for gender, marriage, and sexual intimacy they simply prove that “the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight”(1 Corinthians 3:19).

3. Verse 91: “Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you.”

He is God and we are not. As Romans 9:20 says, “Who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” We can redefine, reinterpret, make exceptions, and disobey. But God’s Word, His faithfulness, His design, and His judgments stand firm.”
