Psalm 119: 1 Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the Lord!
2 Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
who seek him with their whole heart,
3 who also do no wrong,
but walk in his ways!
9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your word.
10 With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments!
18 Open my eyes, that I may behold
wondrous things out of your law.
19 I am a sojourner on the earth;
hide not your commandments from me!
Many of you know that Psalm 119, the longest psalm and chapter in scripture, is made up of 22 sections of 8 verses each, an acrostic, with each section beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. The three passages above come from the first three sections of the Psalm. Notice the exclamation points. The psalmist has a deep desire to know and live by God's commandments. His passion is to seek after God, His Word, and His will and to stay on His path, and to not wander from it. May that be our aim today!
