Who Wrote Psalms Chapter 119
The Longest of all the psalms. One hundred and seventy-six verses. The content and theme is the appreciation of the WORD OF GOD.
Here are a few of the verses.
“164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
166 Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.”
The Law required the King to copy the Torah by hand.
“18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.” Deuteronomy 17:18-20
I hypothesize,
“Could it be that while David was copying the scripture, these poignant words of wisdom concerning God’s laws, precepts, commands, statutes, and Word were written down?”
No doubt there is special virtue if you take the time to rewrite it in your own hand and study to memorize the scripture so that you have it inside of you.
