The Word of Truth
From the Psalms

Week Fourteen

Kaph (verses 81-88)

v.81. My soul languishes for Your salvation; I wait for Your word. v.82. My eyes fail with longing for Your word, while I say, "When will You comfort me?" v.83. Though I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, I do not forget Your statutes. v.84. How many are the days of Your servant? When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me? v.85. The arrogant have dug pits for me, men who are not in accord with Your law. v.86. All Your commandments are faithful; they have persecuted me with a lie; help me! v.87. They almost destroyed me on earth, but as for me, I did not forsake Your precepts. v.88. Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, so that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.
(NAS version)

This group of verses speak to a heart that is suffering. How might the Psalmist have been suffering?

Do you see a Godly man suffering for his faith and love of truth found only in the Word of God? What is his prayer from verse 88? How can this testimony help you today?
