Welcome to the third segment of Psalm 119 on Build Your Bible Habit.

In verses 49 through 72, we see David discussing several things with the Lord directly here,

and he had some statements he made that give us an indication that he was dealing with some strife.

And there are times in our lives when we're going to have strife with people.

And the best thing to do is what we saw here with David, turn these problems into prairie quests.

Let's read together. Psalm 119, verses 49 through 72. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou

has caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction for thy word hath quickened me the proud have had me greatly in derision yet have i not declined from thy law i remembered thy judgments of old o lord Lord, and have comforted myself.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted that I might learn

thy statutes. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

In verse 63, he said, I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
