101 From the Book of Psalms is: Psalm 119:153-176
1- The writer
continually prays for help and understanding (see verse 169), even though he
has clearly been taught deep things already. What may we learn from this? See, e.g.,
verse 176; cf. Rev. 3: 17-19.
2- Why does the
psalmist need God’s help? On what grounds does he expect his prayers to be
answered? What is his reason for continual praise?
3- In verses
161-168, find at least three characteristics of the psalmist’s attitude to the
Word of God, and three blessings which devotion to it brings into a man’s life.
Cf. Pr. 3:1-4; 6:20-24.
