What does Psalm 119:137–144 teach about God’s Word?

It teaches that God’s Word flows from His righteous and faithful character. Because His righteousness is eternal and His law is true, believers can delight in Scripture and find stability and joy even in affliction.

How does God’s righteousness give endurance in trials?

God’s unchanging righteousness anchors the believer. While trouble and anguish may come, delighting in God’s trustworthy commands strengthens endurance and reorients the heart toward hope.
