Series: A Closer Look at the Book: Psalm 119
Text: Psalm 119:1-8
Author: Steve Wagers
A preacher was about to leave on a long journey. As he packed his suitcase, he found that he only had a little room left in it. He said to his friend, "There is still enough room to pack a guidebook, a lamp, a mirror, a telescope, a book of poetry, a number of biographies, a bundle of old letters, a sharp sword, and a small library of 30 volumes." His friend asked, "How can you manage to fit all of that in such a small space?" The preacher replied, "That's easy! My Bible contains all of those things!"
W. H. Griffith Thomas - "The Word of God is a mirror to reveal, water to cleanse, milk to nourish, strong meat to feed, honey to delight, fire to warm, hammer to break, sword to fight, seed to sow, lamp to guide, statute to legislate, and gold to treasure."
Psalm 119
- Longest chapter in Word of God - About Word of God
- Possible authors - David, Hezekiah, Ezra
- Because there is no mention of the temple or of ritual law, most believe David penned it as a testimony to Law of God
- "God" is mentioned in every verse - "thy," "his" or Name
- LITERAL in it's REVELATION
- LITERARY in it's INSPIRATION
WRITTEN AS AN ACROSTIC
- 22 stanzas - 8 verses
- Each verse begins with the same Hebrew letter, given in alphabetical order
"Law" - (25X) - DIRECTS
"Word" - (24X) - DOMINATES
"Judgments" (22X) DECIDES
"Testimonies" (22X) DECLARES
"Statutes" (22X) DETERMINES
"Commandments" (21X) DICTATES
"Precepts" (21X) DEFINES
"Saying" (19X) DELIVERS
"Way" (13X) \DEVELOPS
Charles Simeon - "It is a star of the first and greatest magnitude in the firmament of the Psalms."
John Philipps - "It is the Alphabet of Divine Love."
As the Psalmist pens these words, he is on a journey of discovery as he considers the wonderful Word of God.
