OH, HOW I LOVE YOUR LAW
The Psalmist faced hard persecution;
The trials were called his “affliction.”
Enemies used their wits to persecute him;
Wisdom from God enabled him to avoid sin.
The Psalmist was grateful for his teachers;
They had shared knowledge as treasures.
But his understanding increased deeply;
He was wiser than his teachers eventually.
The ancients were revered for their understanding;
The Psalmist found his study of God’s word rewarding.
He discovered truths that God Himself revealed;
The profound wisdom from God was no longer concealed.
The Psalmist was grateful for the Lord’s law;
It showed him many common human flaws.
Meditation on God’s word became precious;
Wisdom was a gift from God that is glorious!
