Appreciation of God's Word
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 ).
