For the next 22 days, we’re going to look at each section of the 119th Psalm to see what our attitude should be like toward God’s Law. There are only eight verses in each section. Let’s begin.
“Aleph
“1 Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the Law of YHWH!
“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!
“4 You have commanded Your precepts to be kept diligently.
“5 Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping Your statutes!
“6 Then I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all Your commandments.
“7 I will praise You with an upright heart, when I learn Your righteous rules.
“8 I will keep Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me!”
– Psalm 119:1-8
The Breakdown
Verse 1: Deuteronomy 28 speaks of the blessings for keeping God’s Law.
Verse 2: Speaks of the blessings and the greatest commandment to love God with a whole heart.
Verse 3: We should walk in His ways as Yeshua walked in His ways. (1 John 2:6).
Verse 4 & 5: We should desire to keep His commandments diligently.
Verse 6: We can’t go wrong by having our eyes on His commandments.
Verse 7: Praise Him as you learn His rules.
Verse 8: A prayer and a promise that He will not forsake us if we keep His Law.
Lord, make our heart’s desire to learn your Law and follow Your ways.
Shalom.
