Psalm 119g - Zayin - Your Decrees Are The Theme Of My Song

Section 7 of 22 set to music. All eight verses of this section of Psalm 119 begin with Zayin (KJV: ZAIN) the 7th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. - (High Resolution version available at zcpress.org/psalm 119)

There is an interesting paradox in receiving the free gift of the life of God: it is an offense to the spirit of the world. The world cannot understand a God who takes no thought for Himself and is willing to give up His own life for His creation. The desperate soul who partakes of the love of this kind of God will immediately find himself the brunt of mockery and scorn. If you don't believe that statement, just enroll in a university and declare that you believe the Bible is the Divinely inspired Word of the LIVING God. The Psalmist is dealing with that confrontation in this section of Psalm 119. He has joyfully received the gift of the life of God and now he is suffering for it. His solution to the predicament is to meditate on the Laws of God ALL THE MORE. In the Law, God has hidden solace for those who fall short of keeping it. The prophets saw it... --Since My people are crushed, I AM CRUSHED (Jer 8:21).-- --He was wounded for OUR transgressions (Isa 53)-- This Psalmist sees it too, otherwise he would not find COMFORT when he remembers the ancient laws, for the Law only rewards him who keeps ALL of it PERFECTLY.
