Fainting for Hope
My soul fainteth for thy salvation:
but I hope in thy word.Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying,
When wilt thou comfort me?All thy commandments are faithful….
…I forsook not thy precepts.
Quicken me after thy lovingkindness;
so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.Psalm 119:81-88
This morning I arrived (once again) at Psalm 119:73-79. I don’t remember what verses I selected the last time I was here. That’s OK. Here’s what’s tugging at my heart this time:
1. I want their support.
They that fear thee
will be glad when they see me;
because I have hoped in thy word.Let those that fear thee
turn unto me,
and those that have known thy testimonies.
2. I need God’s mercy.
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness
be for my comfort….Let thy tender mercies come unto me,
that I may live:
for thy law is my delight.
3. I need a sound heart.
Let my heart be sound
in thy statutes;
that I be not ashamed.
