Day 6 Psalm 119:57-64 Give Thanks to God because of His words
（Memorization Scripture: vv. 62-64）

57 You are my portion, O Lord;
I have said that I would keep Your words.
58 I entreated Your favor with my whole heart;
Be merciful to me according to Your word.
59 I thought about my ways,
And turned my feet to Your testimonies.
60 I made haste, and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.
61 The cords of the wicked have bound me,
But I have not forgotten Your law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You,
Because of Your righteous judgments.
63 I am a companion of all who fear You,
And of those who keep Your precepts.
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of Your mercy;
Teach me Your statutes.

The psalmist rises to give thanks to God for His words at midnight! How we admire his deep understanding and thirst for God’s words. We experience the blessing and grace of God by following His words. Not only do His words lead our path, but they also set us free from the cords of the wicked. Let us give God thanks for His words, desire for His words, be joyful with His words, and obey His commands. And as we do we will find ourselves lost in His immense mercy and love. “If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.” (John 15:10a)

Day 6 詩篇119:57-64 為著 神的話稱謝祂
（背誦62-64節）
57 耶和華是我的福分，我曾說，我要遵守袮的言語。
58 我一心求過袮的恩，願袮照袮的話憐憫我。
59 我思想我所行的道，就轉步歸向袮的法度。
60 我急忙遵守袮的命令，並不遲延。
61 惡人的繩索纏繞我，我卻沒有忘記袮的律法。
62 我因袮公義的典章，半夜必起來稱謝袮。
63 凡敬畏袮、守袮訓詞的人，我都與他做伴。
64 耶和華啊，袮的慈愛遍滿大地，求袮將袮的律例教訓我。


【心得分享】 詩人因著 神的話在半夜必起來稱謝耶和華，讓我們看見詩人對 神的話有何等的認識和體會。因著遵守 神的話，經歷到耶和華是我們的福分和恩典。祂的話不單指引我們前面的道路，也救我們脫離惡人的繩索。讓我們爲著 神的話稱謝祂，以 神的話爲樂、愛慕 神的話、遵行 神的話。以至於沉浸在主那豐滿的慈愛中。「你们若遵守我的命令，就常在我的愛裡。」（約15：10a）
