Verse 119:121

Verse 119:121 says, AIN. After the dividing letter, verse one-twenty- one says, I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.  David said he had acted with good judgment and justice and asked God to not leave him to those who oppressed him.  We as followers of Christ must act with good judgment towards others, which is based on following God's law and guidance, and we must act with justice in all that we do.  If we are oppressed because of this, we need to leave it up to God to deal with those who oppress us.  Verse one-twebty-two adds, Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.  David asked God to be his assurance that he would do good, because he could not base his goodness on his own ability, and neither can we.  Verse one-twenty-three declares, Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.  David said he had long looked for God's salvation, but he had not seen it yet.  He was looking for God to fulfill His word of righteousness.  We really cannot see God's salvation through faith in Jesus Christ physically, and at times it may seem that the world is defeating us, but we must never lose faith in God.  Verse one-twenty-four adds, Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.  As Christians, we can know that God will always deal with us out of His mercy and will teach us His statutes, as David asked God to do with him then.  All we have to do is to always look to God in faith.  Verse one-twenty-five continues, I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.  David may have been an earthly king, but he was God's servant and asked for God to give him understanding.  As followers of Christ, no matter our status in the world, we are servants of God, and we need to ask Him to give us an understanding of His testimonies, or laws.  Verse one-twenty-six states, It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.  David said it was time for God to act, because the people of the world who opposed David and God had made God's law void.  There are many people today who have made God's law void, but we simply need to rely on God to deal with them in His time and way.  Verse one-twenty-seven adds, Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.  David said he loved God's commandments more than fine gold.  We likewise must value God's law above anything in this world, no matter how valuable it may seem.  Verse one-twenty-eight continues,  Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. David said he considered all of God's precepts to be right and that he hated every false way.  God's precepts will always be right whether we consider them to be so or not, but as Christians, we must always believe them to be so and hate anything that goes against God's precepts, or laws.
