The Psalmist mentioned in Psalm 119:54 that God’s degrees are the theme of his song. He found happiness in God.
He asked God to teach and/give him sound judgement and knowledge vs 66. They are reflected or embedded in his commands.
The Psalmist in Psalm 119:70 mentioned about the wicked whose heart is callous and unfeeling. He mentioned throughout Psalm 119 on his respect and delight in God’s laws, words, precepts, commands and degrees.
He respects and trust God. He expressed anger towards the wicked who have forsaken God’s laws vs 53, and a friend to those who follows God’s precepts vs 63.
Thought: God’s wisdom, sound judgement, knowledge, thoughts, righteousness, ways, secrets, power are reflected in his laws, degrees, words, precepts, commands. That is why reading and meditating on God’s words is so important in one’s life. Ed 20-09-2020
Psalms 119:49-70
[49]Remember your promise to me, your servant; it has given me hope.
[50]Even in my suffering I was comforted because your promise gave me life.
[51]The proud are always scornful of me, but I have not departed from your law.
[52]I remember your judgements of long ago, and they bring me comfort, O Lord.
[53]When I see the wicked breaking your law, I am filled with anger.
[54]During my brief earthly life I compose songs about your commands.
[55]In the night I remember you, Lord, and I think about your law.
[56]I find my happiness in obeying your commands.
[57]You are all I want, O Lord; I promise to obey your laws.
[58]I ask you with all my heart to have mercy on me, as you have promised!
[59]I have considered my conduct, and I promise to follow your instructions.
[60]Without delay I hurry to obey your commands.
[61]The wicked have laid a trap for me, but I do not forget your law.
[62]In the middle of the night I wake up to praise you for your righteous judgements.
[63]I am a friend of all who serve you, of all who obey your laws.
[64]Lord, the earth is full of your constant love; teach me your commandments.
[65]You have kept your promise, Lord, and you are good to me, your servant.
[66]Give me wisdom and knowledge, because I trust in your commands.
[67]Before you punished me, I used to go wrong, but now I obey your word.
[68]How good you are — how kind! Teach me your commands.
[69]The proud have told lies about me, but with all my heart I obey your instructions.
[70]They have no understanding, but I find pleasure in your law.
