Besides being the longest chapter in the bible, Psalm 119 is a beautiful psalm divided up according to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. It is meant to be a work of art as well as God’s edifying and comforting Word. Some great people have memorized this whole Psalm and found great blessing in doing so – among them are John Ruskin (19th century British writer), William Wilberforce (19th century British politician), Henry Martyn (19th century pioneer missionary to India), and David Livingstone (19th century missionary to Africa). Luther once professed that he prized this Psalm so highly, that he would not take the whole world in exchange for one leaf of it.
