Psalms 119 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
JV McGee
It has been called the psalm of the Law. No fewer than ten Hebrew words being used in referring to the great matter celebrated. These are translated 'law," "word," "saying" or 'savings," "commandment," "statutes," "ordinances," "precepts," "testimony," way," "path."

His sense of the value of this revealed will of God is perhaps most clearly shown in the words: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet And light unto my path (119:105). The lamp for the feet is that which illumines the immediate pathway, and the light for the path is that which reveals the general direction.
