Verse from Psalms

“耶和华啊！求你把你的律例指教我，我必遵守到底。”
‭‭诗篇‬ ‭119:33‬ ‭

“Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes, And I shall observe it to the end.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:33‬ ‭

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible. Each new section starts with a successive letter from the Hebrew alphabet (known as an acrostic poem). The major emphasis of this psalm is to celebrate the usefulness and value of the law.

In Psalm 119 the author uses a variety of words to describe the laws and commands of God. Eight times he mentions meditating: on God’s decrees (vv. 23, 48), deeds (v. 27), precepts (vv. 15, 78), laws (v. 97), statutes (v. 99), and promises (v. 148). Meditation is the act of thinking deeply about something, focusing intently on an idea. We really get to know the commands of God by meditating on them.

Reading is the necessary first step, but once we have read His Word, meditating on it throughout the day helps us to keep it in our minds.
