Sustain me, my God, according to your promise and I will live; do not let my hopes be dashed.

Psalm 119:116

 

Psalm 119:116
Translated by Ron Oltmanns from Hebrew

Psalm 119 is the longest psalm (and chapter) of the Bible: 176 verses long. 

As a resource to help others dive deeper into Psalm 119, 12 episodes were produced in 2020 (yes, pandemic times!). 

It’s in Season 3 – here’s the link for the first episode for Psalm 119.

Curious about how these 12 episodes came about?

Angela asks Ron a few questions.  

Some of the topics we discuss: 

  • Why pray Psalm 119?
  • What does reading it in Hebrew teach us about this psalm?
  • What is an acrostic poem and how does it work in the case of Psalm 119?
  • Do we know the author or this psalm?
  • How can we better appreciate the poetry of this psalm? 
  • How is the Bible similar and different compared to other great literature? 
  • Why do people call the Bible “God’s Word” and what are they talking about?
  • Is it essential to learn Hebrew to appreciate this psalm?
