Back to Psalm 119 – we’re nearly done! Stanza PE, verses 129 – 136. contains a well-known verse:

The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple. (130)

“The entrance of your words gives light” reminds us of Psalm 119.105 – a light for our path.

“It gives understanding to the simple” sounds remarkably like:

The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. (Psalm 19.7, NIV)

“Making wise the simple” is from, not Psalm 119, but Psalm 19, which, interestingly, also contains praise for God’s Word. (Psalm 19.7 – 11)

PE also contains our 5th non-word verse. We’ll talk about that and the other five tomorrow.
