Psalm 119:121-128
The longest of all the Psalms. Here is a man (it is a man) standing before God pleading his cause. He has stood up for God’s Law and he has been persecuted for it. He longs for salvation and seeks God’s blessing and guidance that he might follow more faithfully. He claims to love God’s Law above everything, including great wealth, he lives faithfully and he hates that which is wrong.
Jesus told us the law in its fullest manifestation was to love God and to love our neighbour. Hopefully the poor man felt vindicated in his plea.
