November 12, 2015 - Thursday

Let my soul live to praise you;
may your judgments give me help.(Psalm 119:175 NABRE)

Psalm 119, the longest by far in the Psalter, praises God for giving such splendid laws and instruction for people to live by. The Psalm is fascinated with God’s word directing and guiding human life.

Each verse contains an English translation of a Hebrew word meaning "instruction.” The nine words for “instruction” used in this translation are: law, statute, commandment, precept, testimony, word, judgment, way, and promise. Today's verse, obviously uses the word judgement.*


Today, I will praise the Lord for the helpful instruction he provides in his Word.


Saint Josaphat, bishop, martyr, and the first saint of the Eastern Church to be canonized by Rome, pray for us.
