Appreciation of God's Word
Ps 119:17–24. The psalmist asked God to open his eyes so that he could see the marvelous blessings of God in the Word (vv. 17–18). He hungered for the Word (vv. 19–20). Because God curses the wicked who disobey Him, he prayed that the Lord would remove those who reproached him. In contrast with them, he meditated on and delighted in God’s Law (vv. 21–24). Frequently in this psalm he referred to the wicked and those who oppressed him (vv. 23, 53, 61, 69–70, 78, 85–87, 95, 110, 115, 119, 122, 134, 155, 157–158, 161).
