Psalm 119 repeatedly refers to the testimonies of the Lord (Meditate on these uses [Ps 119:99] - Especially ask how does the psalmist respond to God's testimonies?)

2 How blessed are those who observe His testimonies, Who seek Him with all their heart.

14 I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, As much as in all riches.

22 Take away reproach and contempt from me, For I observe Your testimonies.

24 Your testimonies also are my delight; They are my counselors.

31 I cling to Your testimonies; O LORD, do not put me to shame!

36 Incline my heart to Your testimonies And not to dishonest gain.

46 I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings And shall not be ashamed.

59 I considered my ways And turned my feet to Your testimonies.

79 May those who fear You turn to me, Even those who know Your testimonies.

88 Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.

95 The wicked wait for me to destroy me; I shall diligently consider Your testimonies.

99 I have more insight than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation.

111 I have inherited Your testimonies forever, For they are the joy of my heart.

119 You have removed all the wicked of the earth like dross; Therefore I love Your testimonies.

125 I am Your servant; give me understanding, That I may know Your testimonies.

129 Your testimonies are wonderful; Therefore my soul observes them.

138 You have commanded Your testimonies in righteousness And exceeding faithfulness.

144 Your testimonies are righteous forever; Give me understanding that I may live.

146 I cried to You; save me And I shall keep Your testimonies.

152 Of old I have known from Your testimonies That You have founded them forever.

157 Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, Yet I do not turn aside from Your testimonies.

167 My soul keeps Your testimonies, And I love them exceedingly.

168 I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, For all my ways are before You.

146 I cried to You; save me And I shall keep Your testimonies.

152 Of old I have known from Your testimonies That You have founded them forever.

157 Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, Yet I do not turn aside from Your testimonies.

167 My soul keeps Your testimonies, And I love them exceedingly.

168 I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, For all my ways are before You.
