Psalm 119, lavishly described as \'twenty-two pearls upon one string\', is concerned with the Word of God and, like a precious jewel, it displays the many facets, lights and aspects of that Word. It has been well said that this psalm is a prolonged meditation upon the excellence of God\'s Word and its effects, and the strength and happiness it gives to those on whose hearts it is engraved. In a day when the doctrine of Scripture is under so much attack, how important it is that we take our views of God\'s Word actually from God\'s Word itself!

String of Pearls v65 - v72

Dean Dryden, Psalms 119:65-72, 29 December 2013

Psalms 119:65-72

65   You have dealt well with your servant,
    O LORD, according to your word.
66   Teach me good judgment and knowledge,
    for I believe in your commandments.
67   Before I was afflicted I went astray,
    but now I keep your word.
68   You are good and do good;
    teach me your statutes.
69   The insolent smear me with lies,
    but with my whole heart I keep your precepts;
70   their heart is unfeeling like fat,
    but I delight in your law.
71   It is good for me that I was afflicted,
    that I might learn your statutes.
72   The law of your mouth is better to me
    than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
