Ps 119:49-64: God’s word brings comfort to the suffering believer (Ps 119:49-52), but it also stirs up feelings of righteous anger against those who deliberately ignore God’s standards (Ps 119:53).
However, the psalmist does not allow discouragement to overwhelm him. He gains renewed vigour from fresh meditation on God’s word (Ps 119:54-56).
Love for the word leads to enjoyment of God himself (Ps 119:57-58).
It produces a life of obedience and prayer. It brings hatred from the wicked, but the believer finds new friendship among those who share his love for God (Ps 119:59-64).
