Verse 41
STROPHE 6
A PROMISE TO TRUST IN THE LAW AND A VOW TO SERVE IT WITH DELIGHT AND LOVE
Waw
"Let thy lovingkindness also come unto me, O Jehovah,
Even thy salvation, according to thy word.
So shall I have an answer for him that reproacheth me;
For I trust in thy word.
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth;
For I have hoped in thine ordinances.
So shall I observe thy law continually
Forever and ever.
And I shall walk at liberty;
For I have sought thy precepts.
I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings,
And shall not be put to shame.
And I will delight myself in thy commandments,
Which I have loved.
I will lift up my hands also unto thy commandments,
which I have loved;
I will meditate on thy statutes."
There is not a word in this strophe which has not already been duplicated, or nearly so, in previous passages. Psalms 119:43b is like Psalms 119:24; Psalms 119:44 is like Psalms 119:35; Psalms 119:45b is like Psalms 119:6,22,31b; and Psalms 119:48b is like Psalms 119:15, etc.
