Psalm 119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
Turn me away from myself, revive my in your Word.
Psalm 119:38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
Thy servant, this means we are set aside to serve Him
Who is devoted, this means very loyal or loving To thy fear, this means towards thy reverence or respect
Stabling thy word, to establish or maintain
Establish your Word unto me as a servant set aside to serve You, Lord. Make me to be very loyal and loving with reverence and respect towards You.
Psalm 119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
Turn away my disgrace, rebuke, and shame. I fear staying in my reproach, please turn me away. For thy judgements (Bible) are good. So if we are turning away from the bad, we should be turning towards the good. This is an either/or situation. We cannot follow both the reproach and the judgements at the same time.
Psalm 119:40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
Do I desire the laws of God? Does His righteousness revive me? Could I be in a state lacking revival due to my lack of longing for His Word?
I truly think they go together. Love God's Word = Revival
What is revival but that your spirit is brought to life? Without God' Word as the center of your life, you will remain without life.
Psalm 119:41 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
Mercy = not getting what you do deserve....kindness
We want God to be merciful towards us. Not just for salvation, but for all of our lives.
Aren't you glad we have a Merciful God?
Psalm 119:42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
...to answer him that reproacheth me
...Be sure you are standing on the Bible and not relying solely on man.
The Bible stands like a rock undaunted
’Mid the raging storms of time;
Its pages burn with the truth eternal,
And they glow with a light sublime.
Refrain
The Bible stands though the hills may tumble,
t will firmly stand when the earth shall crumble;
I will plant my feet on its firm foundation,
For the Bible stands.
The Bible stands like a mountain towering
Far above the works of men;
Its truth by none ever was refuted,
And destroy it they never can.
Refrain
The Bible stands and it will forever,
When the world has passed away;
By inspiration it has been given,
All its precepts I will obey.
Refrain
The Bible stands every test we give it,
For its author is divine;
By grace alone I expect to live it,
And to prove and to make it mine.
Refrain
