Introduction Psalm 119 is a Psalm that glorifies God and His Word. It refers to Scripture in

almost every verse in the chapter. Out of 176 verses, there are only five verses

that don’t refer to the Word of God. (verses 84, 90, 121, 122, 132) It is presumed

that this Psalm was written by David, and I refer to him as the author in the

workbook pages. I also refer to him as the Psalmist.

There are 8 basic words used in this chapter to describe the Scriptures:

Law

Word

Judgments

Testimonies

Commandments

Statutes

Precepts

In verse 3, “His ways” refers to His commandments or Word

This Psalm is divided into 22 sections with eight verses in each section. Lessons

are set up to spend one week on each section, and memorize a verse from

each section during that week.

This is designed for students to do on their own, from about grades 4-12. It can

also be done as a family devotional, or parents can work through it with

younger students. (You can print a copy for each student, or if you want to

conserve paper and ink, have each of the kids read it online, and answer the

questions in a notebook.)

This is a GREAT chapter to study, as it encourages a love for God’s Word, and

shows the results and blessings that come from knowing and keeping it.

Instructions The lessons are set up to have the student do one section (8 verses) each week,

including memorizing a verse from the section. Most of the lessons will only take

5-10 minutes. Students will need a yellow, green, pink and blue highlighter. If you

are printing a copy for each student, I would suggest using a 3-hole punch, and

putting the pages in a binder for each student. Get 6 notebook dividers and

label them: Daily Assignments, Psalm 119 Text, Workbook, Appendix A, Appendix

B ,Appendix C. Before the student begins, put the pages behind the proper

dividers.

Day 1

1. Go to the Psalm 119 text, and read the 8 verses for the section of the week.

Go through it again, with your highlighters, and highlight in YELLOW the word

that is used for Scripture. (law, word, commandments, etc.) With the GREEN

marker, highlight the word that tells us what we are to do with God’s Word (love,

keep, meditate in, etc.)

2. Go to Appendix A and read the memory verse for the section you are on.

Read it aloud three times, and then copy it on the lines. (To help you practice it,

make a flashcard on a 3 X 5 card. Draw pictures for some of the words in the

verse, to help you remember it better.)

Day 2

Do the first workbook page for the section you are on. This page will have your

memory verse, and a little section about the verse. It will also have questions

about the first two verses in the section. Repeat memory verse a couple of times.

Day 3

Do the next workbook page for the section, which will cover the next three

verses in the chapter. Work on the memory verse.

Day 4

Do workbook page for the last three verses of the section. Review memory

verse.

Day 5

1. Go to Appendix B, and fill in the chart for section 1. You can use the text

pages for this.

2. Review memory verse until you can quote it for your parent.

Psalm 119 (King James Version)

heart.

20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.

21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy

commandments.

statutes.

24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.

works.

53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on

them that persecute me?

85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou

me.


12


87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.

88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy

mouth.

89 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it

abideth.

affliction.

107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.

108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and

teach me thy judgments.

109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.

110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.

ashamed of my hope.

continually.

121 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.

122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.

125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.

127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I

hate every false way.

Section 17

129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.

130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the

simple.

that love thy name.

15


Section 18

138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy

words.

148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me

according to thy judgment.
