Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. – Psalm 119:165

Daily Bible Reading “Great Peace Have They Which Love Thy Law” (Psalm 119:161-168)

Posted on December 3, 2024 by Deborah H. Bateman

Great Peace Have They Which Love Thy Law

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 119:161-168. This stanza from Psalm 119 starts with SCHIN, the twenty-first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Both SCHIN and sin are represented with the same letter. The Psalmist says he has been persecuted by princes even though they had no reason to persecute him, yet his heart is in awe of God’s Word.

He has suffered great persecution, but still rejoices in the Word of the LORD. He hates lying, but loves the law of God. He says he prays seven times a day and praises God because of His righteous judgments.

Verse 165, is one of my favorite verses, it says, “Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” Even though he is going through all the persecution and turmoil in his life, the Psalmist finds peace in God’s Word and knows that God is there to see him through the situation.

The Psalmist reminds the LORD that he has put his hope in God’s salvation and done His commandments. He has kept the testimonies of the LORD and loved them more than anything. He has walked before God by keeping his commandments, testimonies, and precepts because He loves the LORD.

Do you find it hard sometimes to understand why you are going through troubled times, when you feel like you have been trying to walk in the ways of the LORD? The Psalmist in Psalm 119 seems to be wondering the same thing, because he keeps reminding the LORD of how much he loves and keeps the precepts, testimonies, and commandments of God. If we focus on God even when we are going through troubled times, we can have peace in the midst of the storms of our lives.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 119:116-168

161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.

164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.

165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.

167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.

168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.

Things to Think About:

Can you claim verse 165 even when you are going through troubled times?

Do you love the Word of God?

Do you try to keep the Word of God before you daily to remind you of His promises?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 119 where the Psalmist tells us that even though he is persecuted he still loves Your Word. Help us not to base our love for You on our circumstances. Help us to be able to claim verse 165 in our daily lives and keep our hearts and minds fixed on You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “I Meditate in Thy Word” (Psalm 119:145-152)

Posted on December 1, 2024 by Deborah H. Bateman

I Meditate in Thy Word

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 119:145-152. This portion of Psalm 119 starts with KOPH, which is the nineteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It represents the letter Q and the number 100. The Psalmist cries out for the LORD to hear him and promises he will keep the statutes of the LORD. He tells God that if He will save him he will keep his testimonies.

He wakes up early in the morning and cries out to the LORD saying, that he hoped in thy word. He was unable to sleep because he was meditating on God’s Word. The Psalmist begs God to hear his voice and preserve his life because of His love for him. The enemy was closing in on him and he was fearful of them because they didn’t obey the laws of God.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 119:145-152

145 KOPH. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.

146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.

150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.

152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

Things to Think About:

Do you ever wake up in the night or early morning with God’s Word on your mind?

Have you ever been fearful for your life and cried out to God to save you?

Have you ever noticed if you wake in the night and can’t sleep, that if you start praying, singing silently, or quoting Scripture, you will relax and fall back to sleep?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 119 where the Psalmist reminds us to meditate on Your Word and to call out to You in prayer. Thank You for always being there when we call on You. Help us not to take Your love and concern for us for granted, but to treasure You and Your Word. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Verse:

Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

Daily Bible Reading “You are Righteous, O LORD” (Psalm 119:137-144)

Posted on November 21, 2024 by Deborah H. Bateman

You are Righteous, O LORD

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 119:137-144. This portion of Scripture from Psalm 119 starts with TZADDI, which is the eighteenth letter in the Hebrew alphabet. It represents the number 90, with its final number being 900. It is also representative of a fishhook.

The Psalmist declares the LORD, His judgments, and testimonies are righteous and faithful. He is consumed by zeal, because his enemies have forgotten God’s Words. He loves the purity of the Word of God. He feels small because he is despised by his enemies, yet he remembers the precepts of the LORD.

He proclaims that the LORD’S righteousness is everlasting and His law is the truth. He has been over taken by trouble and anguish, but he delights in the commandments of the LORD. He reminds us that the righteousness of the LORD’S testimonies is eternal and asks the LORD to give him understanding that he may live.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 119:137-144

137 TZADDI. Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.

138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.

140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.

144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall
live.

Things to Think About:

Do you consider the righteousness of the LORD?

Does it concern you that some people live in total disobedience to the Word of God?

Do you ask God to give you understanding so you can comprehend the Bible?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 119 where the Psalmist reminds us of Your righteousness. Help us to treasure the truth and righteousness of Your word. Give us knowledge and understanding that we might comprehend Your word. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Verse:

Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.

Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. – Psalm 119:133

Daily Bible Reading “Order My Steps in Your Word” (Psalm 119:129-136)

Posted on November 20, 2024 by Deborah H. Bateman

Order My Steps in Your Word

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 119:129-136. This portion of Scripture from Psalm 119 starts with PE, the seventeenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It is equal to the letter P and represents the number 80. The Psalmist begins by proclaiming that he keeps the testimonies of the LORD because of how wonderful they are. He says, God’s Word gives light and understanding to the simple.

The Psalmist pants because of his longing for God’s commandments. He asks God to look favorably on him and have mercy on him because of his love for God. He requests that God direct his steps according to His word and keep him from sin’s dominion.

He begs God to deliver him from the oppression of man and help him to keep the precepts of God. He asks God to shine His face upon him and teach him the ways of God. Tears flow from his eyes because of man’s disobedience to God’s laws.

Even though we don’t live in the Old Testament times where people were under the law, God’s Word still has principals and precepts that He wants His children to follow.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 119:129-136

129 PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.

130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.

132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.

135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.

136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.

Things to Think About:

Do you love the Word of God?

Do you long to spend time studying the Word of God?

Does it break your heart when you see the sin and disobedience against God’s Word in the world today?
Do you desire God’s leadership, guidance, and direction in your life?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 119 where the Psalmist reminds us of the importance of Your word in our life. He asks You to guide his steps. We ask You also to lead, guide, and direct our lives. Help us to be obedient to Your word. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
