The longest Psalm in the Bible is Psalm 119. It has been called the Psalm of the Scriptures because it concentrates on one thing, the amazing sufficiency of God's word for our lives.

Open to Psalm 119 today and open your heart to the Lord as we join Scott Pauli in this study.

It is our prayer that through God's truth, you will find all you need. Each one of these sections in Psalm 119 has some definite point of emphasis.

They're not just scattered thoughts.

They are woven like fabric with threads, themes woven throughout.

I've tried in my own time meditating in Psalm 119 to identify the point of emphasis

in each section.

Today we turn our attention to the third section.

It is Psalm 119, 17 to 24.

In our last study, I pointed out one verse here that has really been meaningful to me

in recent days, the verse about us being strangers in the earth. But the whole section is woven

together with a certain theme. Let me read the verses and then point out the emphasis of God's word to

us. The Bible says in Psalm 119 beginning in

verse 17, deal bountifully with thy servant that I may live and keep thy word. Open thou

mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. I'm a stranger in the earth. Hide not thy commandments from me. My soul breaketh

for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. Thou hast rebuked the proud

that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments, remove from me reproach and contempt, for I have kept

thy testimonies.

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.

What an amazing section of Psalm 119.

I would point out a couple things to just by way of introduction.
