Psalm 119 - NKJV, Part 5

This first section is number 13 of 22. Psalm 119 is divided into 22 sections consisting of 8 verses each. Each verse in a section starts with the same Hebrew letter, therefore each verse in section 13, eg, starts with 'mem'. This personal project is to quote all 176 verses of this l-o-n-g psalm in 7 parts. God (Yahweh) inspired His servant, King David, to compose this great psalm of his love for God's commandments, laws, precepts and testimonies. How Utopia would be MUCH closer if everyone had David's attitude towards God and His ways!
