Ps 119:129-144: So wonderful is the instruction of God’s word that God’s loyal servant has a hunger to know more of it.
He knows that by following God’s word he has victory over sin and temptation (Ps 119:129-134).
He weeps to think that people would trample underfoot such noble teaching (Ps 119:135-136).
Their irreverence causes him further sorrow, for they are cutting themselves off from the knowledge of God.
Only through God’s word can people develop a true understanding of God’s justice, righteousness and faithfulness (Ps 119:137-140).
As for the psalmist, he finds God’s word reliable and true, and a constant source of comfort, joy and instruction (Ps 119:141-144).
