[:en]Thoughts from Psalm 119: 49-72[:]

[:en]ZAYIN (vs. 49-56)

When you are suffering, His word gives you hope (v.1), his promises preserve your life (v. 50) and his laws bring comfort (v. 52).  So, keep His laws and obey his precepts (v. 55-56)

HETH (vs. 57-64)

The choice of friend is important in your life.  Good friends can make you but bad friends can break you.  If you walk with the wicked, they will bind you with ropes (v. 61) but if you walk with friends who fear God, they will help you to follow His precepts (v. 63)

TETH (vs. 65-72)

God allows affliction to bring us back (v. 67), learn his decrees (v. 71)  keep his precepts (v. 69) and delight in His laws (v. 70)

“The law from you mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold” (v. 72)[:]
