Longest psalm

Psalm 119: It's a quirk of fate that the longest psalm falls on a Sunday, the day I take a break from blogging and just post a quote. Since this wisdom psalm has 176 verses and occupies five pages in my Bible, I'll leave you with several quotes today.
Quote 1:
My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to your word.
119: 25

Quote 2:
Oh, how I love your law!
It is my meditation all day long.
Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies,
for it is always with me.
I have more understanding than all my teachers,
for your decrees are my meditation.
..........
Through your precepts I get understanding;
therefore I hate every false way.
119: 97-99, 104.

Quote #3
(The motto I recited as a child when attending Pioneer Girls)

Your word is a lamp to my feet 
and a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105 

Quote #4
Let my cry come before you, O Lord; 
give me understanding according to your word.
...........
I long for your salvation, O Lord,
and your law is my delight.
Let me live that I may praise you,
and let your ordinances help me.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep;
seek out your servant
for I do not forget your commandments.
119: 169, 174-176.
