Psalm 119:129-144, HIS word is pure!

Pe פ, 129-136

Psa 119:129-130, YOUR TESTIMONIES ARE WONDERFUL; Therefore my soul keeps them. The entrance of Your words gives light; IT GIVES UNDERSTANDING TO THE SIMPLE.

A name given to the coming MESSIAH, JESUS is WONDERFUL (Isaiah 9:6). For JESUS is wonderful, and HIS word a light to our path!

Isa 9:6, For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. AND HIS NAME WILL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Psa 19:7, The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, MAKING WISE THE SIMPLE;

Psa 119:133, DIRECT MY STEPS by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me. 

HE directs those who trust in HIM and HIS promises! Remember, you can be led away by your feelings, lust, friends, circumstances etc. HE wants to lead us by HIS word JESUS!

Pro 3:5-6, Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Tsadde צ,  137-144

Psa 119:137-138, RIGHTEOUS ARE YOU, O LORD, And upright are Your judgments. Your testimonies, which You have commanded, Are RIGHTEOUS AND VERY FAITHFUL.

HIS way is perfect, and HIS understanding is without fail! HE knows all and sees all! HE is faithful to HIS promises for us found in scripture! Trust in the LORD for HE can’t lie!

Num 23:19, “GOD IS NOT A MAN, THAT HE SHOULD LIE, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. HAS HE SAID, AND WILL HE NOT DO? Or HAS HE SPOKEN, AND WILL HE NOT MAKE IT GOOD? 

Psa 119:140, YOUR WORD IS VERY PURE; THEREFORE YOUR SERVANT LOVES IT. 

For those that know their GOD, HIS word is pure for HE is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!

1Pe 2:2  as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 

Your either guided by the cares of this world or by HIS word? We need to choose; remember HE is faithful and can’t lie! Trust in HIM!

Pro 30:5  Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

Psalm 119:81-96, HE is in control!

KATH  כ  81-88

Psa 119:81-82, MY SOUL FAINTS FOR YOUR SALVATION, But I hope in Your word. My eyes fail from searching Your word, Saying, “WHEN WILL YOU COMFORT ME?”

Here the Psalmist is desperate, without any strength; YET he wants to be delivered by GOD, not man! BEING DELIVERED BY THE STRENGTH OF MAN ACTUALLY ROBS THE PERSON FROM A BLESSING OF GOD!

2Cor 4:8-9, We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed

Psa 119:86-87, All Your commandments are faithful; They persecute me wrongfully; HELP ME! They almost made an end of me on earth, But I did not forsake Your precepts.

Still waiting for help but living in faith, in accordance to HIS way! Never lose heart for the LORD’s hand is on the thermostat; shaping and molding the person he wants to see in you! It’s just the potter doing HIS work!

Isa 64:8, But now, O LORD, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand. 

LAMED ל 89-96

Psa 119:89, Forever, O LORD, YOUR WORD IS SETTLED IN HEAVEN.

HE who knows the end from the beginning! What HE has said, in HIS word will come to pass without fail! IT IS SETTLED!

Act 15:18, “KNOWN TO GOD FROM ETERNITY ARE ALL HIS WORKS. 

Isa 46:10, DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, And from ancient times THINGS THAT ARE NOT YET DONE, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’ 

Psa 119:94-95, I AM YOURS, SAVE ME; FOR I HAVE SOUGHT YOUR PRECEPTS. The wicked wait for me to destroy me, BUT I WILL CONSIDER YOUR TESTIMONIES.

Are you HIS? Do you know the LORD? In trials never lose heart for HE is with you wherever you go!

Psa 27:13-14, I WOULD HAVE LOST HEART, UNLESS I HAD BELIEVED That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. WAIT ON THE LORD; BE OF GOOD COURAGE, AND HE SHALL STRENGTHEN YOUR HEART; WAIT, I SAY, ON THE LORD!

Psalm 119:17-32, HE shall open your eyes!

GIMEL = ג , 17-24

Psa 119:18, OPEN MY EYES, THAT I MAY SEE WONDROUS THINGS FROM YOUR LAW. 

These are not just words in a book, it’s HIS living word! Not believing in JESUS and reading this book achieves nothing, but once one comes to faith HE opens their eyes to see the truth in HIS word!

2Cor 3:14-16, But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, BECAUSE THE VEIL IS TAKEN AWAY IN CHRIST. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. NEVERTHELESS WHEN ONE TURNS TO THE LORD, THE VEIL IS TAKEN AWAY.

Psa 119:19-20, I AM A STRANGER IN THE EARTH; Do not hide Your commandments from me. MY SOUL BREAKS WITH LONGING FOR YOUR JUDGMENTS AT ALL TIMES.

In knowing Christ JESUS, we know that there is a better way, HIS way! We feel out of place living in this filthy corrupt world! YET, the day is coming when HE shall return to judge the world! HE SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH!

Zec 14:9, AND THE LORD SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH. In that day it shall be “The LORD is one,” And His name one. 

DALETH = ד , 25-32

Psa 119:30-31, I HAVE CHOSEN THE WAY OF TRUTH; Your judgments I have laid before me. I CLING TO YOUR TESTIMONIES; O LORD, do not put me to shame!

It is a choice that we make for there are two roads before us, HIS way which leads to life, and our way which leads to death!

Pro 14:12, There is a way that seems right to a man, BUT ITS END IS THE WAY OF DEATH. 

Psa 119:32, I WILL RUN THE COURSE OF YOUR COMMANDMENTS, For You shall enlarge my heart.

In verse 25, the Psalmist was close to death and said, “MY SOUL CLINGS TO THE DUST, REVIVE ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD”!  Now we see HIM running! This is the work of GOD, for HE is always present willing to help in times of trouble! Trust in the LORD!

Psa 18:36, YOU ENLARGED MY PATH UNDER ME, SO MY FEET DID NOT SLIP.

Psalm 117, Praise the LORD you gentiles!

Psa 117:1, PRAISE THE LORD, ALL YOU GENTILES! LAUD HIM, ALL YOU PEOPLES! 

The Psalmist previously called on the Jewish nation to praise the LORD, but now calls on the Gentiles to praise HIM! It was always GOD’s intention to bless the whole world, not just the Jewish nation, BUT EVERY PERSON WILLING TO HEAR THE TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD!

Gen 12:3, I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; AND IN YOU ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED.”

Out of the Jewish nation came our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS the Messiah, who died on the cross for you and me!

Gal 3:8-9, And the Scripture, FORESEEING THAT GOD WOULD JUSTIFY THE GENTILES BY FAITH, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “IN YOU ALL THE NATIONS SHALL BE BLESSED.” SO THEN THOSE WHO ARE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with believing Abraham.

Psa 117:2, For His merciful kindness is great TOWARD US, And the truth of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD! 

Praise HIM you Gentiles, for the great mercy which was shown to us HIS people, maybe shown to you!

Psa 100:3-4, KNOW THAT THE LORD, HE IS GOD; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; WE ARE HIS PEOPLE AND THE SHEEP OF HIS PASTURE. ENTER INTO HIS GATES WITH THANKSGIVING, AND INTO HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE. BE THANKFUL TO HIM, AND BLESS HIS NAME.

For Christians all around the world, we rejoice over the name above all names which is JESUS, the SON of the living GOD!

Mal 1:11, For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, MY NAME SHALL BE GREAT AMONG THE GENTILES; IN EVERY PLACE INCENSE SHALL BE OFFERED TO MY NAME, AND A PURE OFFERING; FOR MY NAME SHALL BE GREAT AMONG THE NATIONS,” SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS. 

The day is coming when ALL who worship the LORD JESUS, from every nation and tongue, will come together before the LAMB of GOD! WILL YOU BE THERE? WILL YOUR NAME BE WRITTEN IN THE LAMBS BOOK OF LIFE?

Rev 7:9, After these things I looked, and behold, A GREAT MULTITUDE WHICH NO ONE COULD NUMBER, OF ALL NATIONS, TRIBES, PEOPLES, AND TONGUES, standing before the throne and BEFORE THE LAMB, CLOTHED WITH WHITE ROBES, WITH PALM BRANCHES IN THEIR HANDS,

Psalm 116, HE is with us in times of trouble!

Psa 116:1-2, I LOVE THE LORD, BECAUSE HE HAS HEARD MY VOICE AND MY SUPPLICATIONS. BECAUSE HE HAS INCLINED HIS EAR TO ME, THEREFORE I WILL CALL UPON HIM AS LONG AS I LIVE.

No one likes going through any trial, but the beauty in trials, FOR THE BELIEVER, is when HE hears and responds to your call! THEN YOU REALIZE THAT YOUR NOT ALONE! HE IS HERE!

Isa 41:10, FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU; BE NOT DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ 

Psa 116:5-6, GRACIOUS IS THE LORD, AND RIGHTEOUS; YES, OUR GOD IS MERCIFUL. THE LORD PRESERVES THE SIMPLE; I WAS BROUGHT LOW, AND HE SAVED ME.

Compared to HIS massive creation we are but microorganisms, YET HE PRESERVES THE SIMPLE! WE ARE BUT DUST, AND STILL HE LOVES EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US!

Luk 12:24, Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of HOW MUCH MORE VALUE ARE YOU THAN THE BIRDS?

Psa 144:3, LORD, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him? 

Psa 116:10, I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE, “I am greatly afflicted.” 

The Psalmist was greatly afflicted, so in faith he spoke to the LORD in prayer! Paul used this same verse to justify him speaking of Christ JESUS in trying times!

2Co 4:13-14, And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I BELIEVED AND THEREFORE I SPOKE,” we also believe and THEREFORE SPEAK, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.

Psa 116:11, I SAID IN MY HASTE, “ALL MEN ARE LIARS.” 

In trials, we may get overwhelmed and say things in haste; saying things that shouldn’t have been said! IT IS MUCH EASIER TO BE QUITE THAN TO RECALL THE WORDS THAT WERE SAID! Calling on GOD, yet cursing men?

Jas 3:10, Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, THESE THINGS OUGHT NOT TO BE SO. 

While HE is faithful and steadfast, we are inconsistent at best! THANK YOU LORD!

Psalm 111, Study HIS word!

Psa 111:1, Praise the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my WHOLE HEART, IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE UPRIGHT AND IN THE CONGREGATION. 

The day is coming, the day is near when the assembly of saints will be gathered together IN THE WORSHIP OF OUR KING, WORSHIPPING HIM WITH ALL WE HAVE!

Psa 149:1, Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints. 

Psa 111:2, THE WORKS OF THE LORD ARE GREAT, STUDIED BY ALL WHO HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM. 

The Bible is studied by Pastors, scientist, archaeologist, and those seeking the truth of GOD! Archaeologist in Israel have found out that their most trusted source of information comes directly from the Bible!

Psa 111:3-4, HIS WORK IS HONORABLE AND GLORIOUS, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ENDURES FOREVER. HE HAS MADE HIS WONDERFUL WORKS TO BE REMEMBERED; THE LORD IS GRACIOUS AND FULL OF COMPASSION.

HIS ways are perfect, while we fall short on every level! We make statements saying the LORD will do this, and HE will do that, but we use our limited knowledge and foresight! HE ALWAYS DOES WHAT’S BEST EVEN FOR HE KNOWS THE OUTCOME OF THE MATTER!

Isa 44:7, And WHO CAN PROCLAIM AS I DO? Then let him declare it and set it in order for ME, SINCE I APPOINTED the ancient people. AND THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING AND SHALL COME, LET THEM SHOW THESE TO THEM. 

We may not understand all that happening now, but rest assured HE IS COMPLETE CONTROL! WHILE HATERS HATE, AND DOUBTERS DOUBT ONE DAY ALL THINGS WILL BE UNDER HIS FEET!

Psa 111:10, The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever. 

Job said it best

Job 28:28, And to man He said, ‘BEHOLD, THE FEAR OF THE LORD, THAT IS WISDOM, AND TO DEPART FROM EVIL IS UNDERSTANDING.’

Psalm 108, HIS great love for us!

Psa 108:1-2, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.

The heart of king David was confident in GOD alone! He knew where his help came from! It wasn’t from man but GOD HIMSELF!

Psa 121:1-2, I will lift up my eyes to the hills—FROM WHENCE COMES MY HELP? MY HELP COMES FROM THE LORD, WHO MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH.

David was a talented musician who would wake up every morning to sing praises to the KING OF kings! The LORD was with him!

Psa 108:5-6, Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth; THAT YOUR BELOVED MAY BE DELIVERED, Save with Your right hand, and hear me.

David was confident in the LORD, and also, he knew that the LORD loved him! He called himself “beloved” Just like JOHN

Joh 21:20, Then Peter, turning around, SAW THE DISCIPLE WHOM JESUS LOVED FOLLOWING, WHO ALSO HAD LEANED ON HIS BREAST AT THE SUPPER…

This is not arrogance but it’s a true statement! Both David and John were beloved of GOD! Yet you can add many, many others to that list!

Dan 9:23, At the beginning of your supplications the command went out, and I have come to tell you, FOR YOU ARE GREATLY BELOVED..

Do you know that you are loved by GOD HIMSELF? Even with all your faults HE is still in love with you!

Rom 1:7, To ALL who are in Rome, BELOVED OF GOD, CALLED TO BE SAINTS: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Rom 8:38-39, For I am persuaded that Neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.

Joh 3:16, FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.

Our sins are great, yet HIS love is greater! Trust in the LORD for HE loves you!

Psalm 106, Faith without seeing!

Psa 106:2, Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can declare ALL HIS PRAISE? 

The simple answer is no one! It is impossible to declare all HIS praises; for we see only the edges of HIS glory ( Job 26:14 )

Psa 139:6, Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. 

Psa 106:7, Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, BUT REBELLED BY THE SEA—THE RED SEA. 

All of Israel saw the plagues that hit Egypt and how GOD protected them! A total of ten plagues, YET rebelled against the LORD!

Ex 14:11, Then they said to Moses, … HAVE YOU TAKEN US AWAY TO DIE IN THE WILDERNESS?…

Psa 106:8-9, NEVERTHELESS HE SAVED THEM FOR HIS NAME’S SAKE, That He might make His mighty power known. HE REBUKED THE RED SEA ALSO, AND IT DRIED UP; SO HE LED THEM THROUGH THE DEPTHS, AS THROUGH THE WILDERNESS.

YET GOD saved them even in their rebellion and showed them HIS great power and mercy!

Psa 106:12, THEN THEY BELIEVED HIS WORDS; They sang His praise.

Seeing is believing, but faith is believing without seeing! Like Thomas, Israel had to see before they could believe!

Joh 20:29, Jesus said to him, “Thomas, BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN ME, YOU HAVE BELIEVED. BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN AND YET HAVE BELIEVED.”

Psa 106:13-14, THEY SOON FORGOT HIS WORKS; They did not wait for His counsel, But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And TESTED GOD IN THE DESERT.

So many people praise GOD when they see HIS miracles, HIS provisions, HIS work! YET, at the sign of any trial THEY FORGET WHAT HE HAS DONE IN THEIR LIVES! WE ARE FICKLED PEOPLE WHO CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION!

2Ti 2:13, If we are faithless, HE REMAINS FAITHFUL; He cannot deny Himself. 

Do you believe only when you see, Thomas? Remember while we are faithless, HE remains faithful!

1Th 5:24, HE WHO CALLS YOU IS FAITHFUL, WHO ALSO WILL DO IT.

Psalm 105, Seeking the LORD!

Psa 105:1-2, Oh, GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD! CALL UPON HIS NAME; MAKE KNOWN HIS DEEDS AMONG THE PEOPLES! … TALK OF ALL HIS WONDROUS WORKS! 

As Christians, we have all experience HIS blessings in our lives! We must make them known to all those willing to hear! Even king Nebuchadnezzar made known HIS works!

Dan 4:2, I thought it good to declare the signs and wonders that the MOST HIGH GOD HAS WORKED FOR ME.

Psa 105:3, GLORY IN HIS HOLY NAME; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD! 

So many people glory in their strength, their money, their position, but the LORD says!

Jer 9:23-24, Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man glory in his WISDOM, Let not the mighty man glory in his MIGHT, Nor let the rich man glory in his RICHES; BUT LET HIM WHO GLORIES GLORY IN THIS, THAT HE UNDERSTANDS AND KNOWS ME, ….

Psa 105:4, SEEK THE LORD AND HIS STRENGTH; SEEK HIS FACE EVERMORE! 

Those that seek HIM will find HIM, but the opposite is also true! James tells us “DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU (Jam 4:8)! HE WAITS ON YOU!

Jer 29:13, AND YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME, WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART. 

Psa 105:5, REMEMBER HIS MARVELOUS WORKS WHICH HE HAS DONE, HIS WONDERS, and the judgments of His mouth, 

When trials come, and they will, ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT HE HAS DONE IN THE PAST! How HE lifted you up in your time of need! How HE opened doors that you didn’t even see! YET, THE BIGGEST THING TO REMEMBER IS WHAT HE DID FOR YOU ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY!

Luk 22:19, And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, SAYING, “THIS IS MY BODY WHICH IS GIVEN FOR YOU; DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.” 

Rom 4:7-8, “BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS ARE FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS ARE COVERED; BLESSED IS THE MAN TO WHOM THE LORD SHALL NOT IMPUTE SIN.”

Psalm 104, HE provides all!

Psa 104:10-11, HE SENDS THE SPRINGS INTO THE VALLEYS; They flow among the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

The LORD provides for all HIS creation

Psa 104:13-15, … THE EARTH IS SATISFIED WITH THE FRUIT OF YOUR WORKS. He causes the grass to grow FOR THE CATTLE, And vegetation for the service of man, THAT HE MAY BRING FORTH FOOD FROM THE EARTH, And wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face shine, AND BREAD WHICH STRENGTHENS MAN’S HEART. 

The earth, HIS creation, gives us all we need! Bread, water, power, materials to build; the earth, by HIS design, gives us what we need!

Psa 145:15, The eyes of all look expectantly to You, And You give them their food in due season.

Psa 104:19, HE appointed the MOON for seasons; The SUN knows its going down. 

Psa 8:3-4, When I consider Your heavens, THE WORK OF YOUR FINGERS, THE MOON AND THE STARS, WHICH YOU HAVE ORDAINED, WHAT IS MAN THAT YOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM, And the son of man that You visit him?

It’s not what is man, but who HE is! HE IS OUR LOVING FATHER WHO PROVIDES FOR HIS CHILDREN! HE CREATED EVERYTHING AROUND TO SUPPORT LIFE

Psa 104:23, MAN GOES OUT TO HIS WORK AND TO HIS LABOR UNTIL THE EVENING. 

HE gives man wisdom and materials to create vehicles, homes, hospitals, tools etc.

Psa 104:24, O LORD, HOW MANIFOLD ARE YOUR WORKS! IN WISDOM YOU HAVE MADE THEM ALL. THE EARTH IS FULL OF YOUR POSSESSIONS—

Everything we have or own comes from the FATHER! HE SUPPLIES EVERYTHING!

Php 4:19, AND MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS. 

HE created all these things for HIS creation so that we may look up and realize WE ARE NOT ALONE! NOTHING IS BY ACCIDENT AND EVERYTHING HAS A PURPOSE! OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE THAT HIS DESIRE IS FOR YOU!

1Ti 2:4-5, WHO DESIRES ALL MEN TO BE SAVED AND TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. FOR THERE IS ONE GOD AND ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MEN, THE MAN CHRIST JESUS,
