What is the Longest Chapter in the Bible?

Psalms 119

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible containing 176 verses, it is divided into 22 according to the number of letters in the Hebrew Alphabet starting with Aleph and then Beth, Gimel, Daleth He, Waw and finally Tau. Each part has got 8 verses, and all of those verses are describing the happiness or blessedness of those who keep the commandments of God as mentioned since the opening of the discourse in the first verse:

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, Who walked in the law of the Lord. And every verse after that is talking about the same thing but in a different way. It is an excellent work of poetry.

My favourite part is the section under the letter Mem from verse 97 to 104

מMEM

97 Oh, how I love Your law!

It is my meditation all the day.

98 You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies;

For they are ever with me.

99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,

For Your testimonies are my meditation.

100 I understand more than the ancients,

Because I keep Your precepts.

101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way,

That I may keep Your word.

102 I have not departed from Your judgments,

For You Yourself have taught me.

103 How sweet are Your words to my taste,

Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104 Through Your precepts I get understanding;

Therefore I hate every false way.

I wanted to prove the truthfulness of this passage by reading the Bible both in English and my native language, and really loved it.

My knowledge both linguistically and generally were increased tremendously. Before that I was only an average student getting B's and C's in my studies. But the following year after reading, meditating and memorizing parts of the Bible, my grades in every subject are almost all straight A's.
