Psalm 119:9-16 Okay, so Psalm 119, go ahead and turn there in your Bibles.  And welcome, everyone.  If you remember from last time as we were getting into Psalm 119, we’ve already done the Aleph stanza.  Tonight, we’re going to get into the Beth stanza.  So the first eight verses we’ve covered.  And hopefully, we’ll cover verses 9 to 16 tonight.    And if you remember from last time, as we were kind of introducing Psalm 119, we said that these…
