Psalm 119:13-26

13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.

18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.

21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.

23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.

25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.

David King of Israel, the people of God. What a burden on this man. Who can stand such pressure? Only when filled with the Holy Spirit. What a blessing to read his thoughts. He is a witness of the tribulations in life and of the blessings as God hears and answers our prayers. David never ceased to praise God, so it ought to be with us!

"I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes." Ps. 119:14,20,23,24,26.
