02/25/2021 – Day 284 – Psalm 119 – Fascinating introduction from John Gill’s commentary!
Just a few fascinating teasers in the introduction:
-Psalm 119 is over double the length of the next longest Psalm. / -It is divided into 22 parts, one part for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet. And each part has 8 verses to it, beginning with the very same letter…..
How do you cherry pick one verse out of this chapter? But I will quote 119:136 followed by a quote related to it from Mr. Spurgeon:
119:36: “Rivers of water run dwon from my eyes, Because men do not keep Your law.”
“And you too, who are moral enough in your conversation, and regular in your attendance on the outward forms of religion, you who never weep over sinners, you who never pray from them, you who never speak to them, you who leave all that to your minister, and think you have nothing to do with it, the voice of your brother’s blood crieth from the ground to heaven.”
Charles Spurgeon
