Psalm 119:161-168

ש Sin and Shin

v.161 Persecuted without cause, even so, the psalmist stands in awe of God’s law.
v.162 Here David finds great joy in God’s word (as one that finds great spoil).
v.163 David loves God’s word, which is truth itself, and abhors falsehood (lying).
v.164 Seven times a day, David praised God. That is many times a day. Just once a week won’t do. Praising God is a duty we should very much enjoy. Praise him at every meal and in all things. Give thanks in every circumstance (1 Thes 5:18).
v.165 One can find great peace in loving and following God’s word. This peace is not found in the world’s ways.
v.166-168 David’s hope is in the Lord’s salvation and he keeps the Lord’s testimonies and precepts.

The more we see the beauty and truth of God’s word, the more we will detest a lie.
