Welcome to the seventh and final segment of Psalm 119 on Build Your Bible Habit.

As you may already know, Psalm 119 has 176 verses divided into 22 sections called stanzas.

The last four stanzas sound like prayers of a troubled heart mingled with hope and praise. Let's read these final passages

together. Psalm 119, verses 145 through 176. I cried with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord, I will keep

thy statutes. I cried unto thee, save me, and I shall

keep thy testimonies. I prevented the dawning of the morning and cried, I hoped in thy word.

Mine eyes prevent the night watches that I might meditate in thy word. Hear my voice according unto thy loving

kindness, O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment. They draw nigh that follow after mischief.

They are far from thy law. Thou art near, O Lord, and all thy commandments are truth.

Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them forever.

Consider mine affliction, and deliver me, for I do not forget thy law.

Plead my cause, and deliver me, quicken me according to thy word salvation is far from the wicked for they seek not thy statutes great are thy tender mercies o lord quicken me according to thy judgments many are my persecutors and mine enemies, yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.

I beheld the transgressors and was grieved because they kept not thy word.

Consider how I love thy precepts, quicken me, O Lord, according to thy loving kindness.

Thy word is true from the beginning, and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth

forever.

Princes have persecuted me without a cause, but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

I rejoice at thy word as one that findeth great spoil.

I hate and abhor lying, but thy law do I love.

Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.

Great peace have they which love thy law, and nothing shall offend them.

Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation and done thy commandments.
