The author of Psalm 119 loved the scriptures. They were the focus of his life. I’ve taken the liberty to pull out the verses where he speaks of his love for God’s; laws, statues, precepts, promises, commands, and decrees.
Psalm 119:
20 My soul is consumed with longing
for your laws at all times.
24 Your statutes are my delight;
they are my counselors.
40 How I long for your precepts!
Preserve my life in your righteousness.
41 May your unfailing love come to me, O LORD,
your salvation according to your promise;
47 for I delight in your commands
because I love them.
48 I lift up my hands to your commands, which I love,
and I meditate on your decrees.
64 The earth is filled with your love, O LORD;
teach me your decrees.
72 The law from your mouth is more precious to me
than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
76 May your unfailing love be my comfort,
according to your promise to your servant.
92 If your law had not been my delight,
I would have perished in my affliction.
97 Oh, how I love your law!
I meditate on it all day long.
103 How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
124 Deal with your servant according to your love
and teach me your decrees.
140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested,
and your servant loves them.
159 See how I love your precepts;
preserve my life, O LORD, according to your love.
163 I hate and abhor falsehood
but I love your law.
167 I obey your statutes,
for I love them greatly.
