Psalmen 119:124 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:124

Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy
Which is either general and providential, and reaches to all his creatures; and according to which David had been dealt with all his days, and which he desires a continuance of: or special; and which is in Christ, and communicated through him; and in whom he deals with his people, not according to their merits, but his own mercy; by receiving and accepting them, and admitting them into his presence, and to partake of his favours, and by pardoning their sins and saving their souls; which is not by works of righteousness they have done but according to his abundant mercy; and by giving them eternal life and happiness at the great day;

and teach me thy statutes;
which is often requested; and which not only shows the need of divine teachings, and the psalmist's earnest and importunate desire to have them; but also that the mercy, grace, and kindness of God, have an influence on the holy life and conversation of the saints, and do not at all encourage licentiousness.

122 Wees borg voor Uw knecht ten goede; laat de hovaardigen mij niet onderdrukken.

123 Mijn ogen zijn bezweken van verlangen naar Uw heil, en naar de toezegging Uwer rechtvaardigheid.

124 Doe bij Uw knecht naar Uw goedertierenheid, en leer mij Uw inzettingen.

125 Ik ben Uw knecht, maak mij verstandig, en ik zal Uw getuigenissen kennen.

126 Het is tijd voor den HEERE, dat Hij werke, want zij hebben Uw wet verbroken.
