Psalm 119: 1-88

This is the longest chapter in the Bible...what is cool to me is that there are 22 carefully constructed sections, each corresponding to a different letter in the Hebrew alphabet and each verse beginning with the lettern of is section.   There is a lot of repetition to help the people memorize the Word....remember that people passed on the Word orally at that time.

There is a lot about obeying and longing for God's laws.  We are to keep his statutes and precepts.
