Psalms 119:133

"Turn to me, and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name."

Key Reflection

This verse captures the psalmist's plea for God’s continued mercy, emphasizing that even though he may feel troubled and in need, he desires the same grace and compassion that God extends to those who sincerely follow Him. It underscores a personal relationship where the psalmist seeks not just forgiveness but also God’s ongoing favor and support.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Order my steps in thy word -My goings, or, my conduct and life - by thy word; according to thy requirements. Let me be wholly obedient to thy will. And let not any iniquity have dominion over me -See the notes atPsalms 19:13. The prayer is, that no form of sin, that no wicked passion or propensity, might be allowed to rule over him. He who is willing that any one sin should rule in his heart, though he should be free from all other forms of sin, cannot be a pious man. See the notes atJames 2:10.
