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.
