I tend to avoid reading Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible. When I am charging through a book of the Bible and get to this one. Oh, my, all 176 verses.

But when I start to read it, I find what is written is great, I really enjoy it!

My particular version was printed in the mid-1970s. So fifty years ago and it is just as relevant now as it was then. Or maybe when it was written hundreds of years ago.

"I am completely discouraged---I lie in dust.
Revive me by your Word."

~ Psalm 119:25 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "How can God's Word revive us? Our world is full of evil; God's Word revives us with the promise of victory over evil. Our world says we are worthless without certain looks or possessions; God's Word gives us value by telling us that God created us and loves us. Our world is full of discouragement; God's Word encourages us. Our world has no real lasting answers; God's Word give satisfying, eternal answers. We can read it and be revived!
