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

Verse 37, turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity and quicken thou me in thy way.
