Righteous are you, O Lord, and right are your rules. You have appointed your testimonies in righteousness and in all faithfulness. My zeal consumes me, because my foes forget your words. Your promise is well tried, and your servant loves it. I am small and despised, yet I do not forget your precepts. Your righteousness is righteous forever, and your law is true. Trouble and anguish have found me out, but your commandments are my delight. Your testimonies are righteous forever; give me understanding that I may live.
Psalm 119:137-144 (ESV)Throughout Psalm 119, we keep seeing the importance of God's Word to the Psalmist. Status, money, and power pale in comparison. We are not sure who wrote this chapter, but most believe it was King David, to teach Solomon the alphabet, Ezra, or Daniel.
No matter who the author is, the message is clear. Our reliance needs to be on God and His precious Word. All of the suspected authors are gone, but God's Word remains and will remain throughout eternity. I know where I need to put my hope.
