Psalms 119:134

Deliver me from the oppression of man -From constraint on the part of man, so that I may be free to act as I please. Give me true religious liberty, and let me not be under any compulsion or constraint. The word rendered “deliver” is that which is usually rendered “redeem.” It is used here in the large sense of deliverance; and the prayer is an expression of what the true friends of religion have always sought, desired, and demanded - “freedom” of opinion - the richest blessing which man can enjoy. So will I keep thy precepts -My heart inclines to that; I desire it; and, if suffered to act without constraint, I will do it.
