## Resource

Psalm 119: The Long Love Letter This is the longest chapter in the Bible — 176 verses, every one of them about the word of God — and the temptation is to find it tedious. We should resist. What looks like repetition is actually obsession, the way a lover circles back again and again to the beloved's name, finding new angles of light on the same face. "O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day." "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." "How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" The psalmist is not compiling a theology of Scripture; he is confessing an addiction to it. And woven through the ecstasy are the darker threads — affliction, persecution, proud men who forge lies, wicked hands that lay snares. This is not ivory-tower devotion. It is the testimony of someone who found that when everything else was stripped away — reputation, safety, comfort — the word of God was the one thing that could not be taken. "I have gone astray like a lost sheep," he admits at the very end. Even after 175 verses of devotion, he knows himself. Seek thy servant, he asks. For I do not forget thy commandments. 00:00 Blessed Are the Undefiled 01:00 Thy Word Have I Hid in My Heart 02:00 My Soul Cleaveth unto the Dust 03:00 Incline My Heart 04:00 I Will Speak Before Kings 05:00 I Made Haste to Keep Thy Commandments 06:00 It Is Good That I Was Afflicted 07:00 My Soul Fainteth for Thy Salvation 08:00 Forever Settled in Heaven 09:00 Sweeter Than Honey 10:00 My Hiding Place and Shield 11:00 Give Me Understanding 12:00 Rivers of Waters Run Down Mine Eyes 13:00 I Hoped in Thy Word 14:00 Great Peace Have They Which Love Thy Law 15:00 Seek Thy Servant
