Renewing Hunger: 30 Days in Psalm 119
This study is an introduction to Psalm 119 and covers the first 48 verses. Although each day’s content is specific only to that day and the study does not build on itself, the study is intended to be completed in the order in which it was written. So if you miss a day, just pick up where you left off rather than skipping a day.
Each day includes a devotion, journaling/interaction prompts, and a prayer. At the top of each devotion page, a little bubble is provided for you to write the verse(s) of the day. You are encouraged to read the specified scriptures and write the verse before reading the devotion. The scriptures to read each day repeat over the course of several days. This will help you deep dive into each section within psalm 119 to focus your attention on the message of those verses. Unless otherwise stated, the English Standard Version is used throughout this study.

Facts About Psalm 119
Psalm 119 is an acrostic. Each section of the Psalm correlates with one of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. You may be able to see this noted in your own Bible. Some Bibles indicate the sections by noting the Hebrew letter as the section header. This is designated to break our study reading into different sections.
The theme of Psalm 119 is a love for God’s Word! Hence, our focus on turning our attention to this specific Psalm to renew our hunger for God’s Word. There are 176 total verses in this Psalm, and in my opinion, we don’t even get to some of the best verses by the end of this study.
There’s much speculation about the authorship of Psalm 119. We tend to assume every Psalm was written by King David, but that’s not necessarily true. There is no specific indication that this Psalm was written by David himself. There’s also no indication that this Psalm was written in one sitting - that would be an epic!
