Psalm 119:76

76 O may Your lovingkindness comfort me, According to Your word to Your servant.

Psalm 119:76 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:76

Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort,
&c.] Shown in the provision and promise of a Saviour; in the forgiveness of sins through him; a discovery and application of which yields comfort under afflictions;

according to thy word unto servant;
a word of promise, in which he had assured him of his love, grace, mercy, and kindness; and that he would continue it to him, and comfort him with it: to make such a promise, and show such favour, was an instance of condescending grace to him, who was but his servant, and unworthy of his regard.

Psalm 119:76 In-Context

74 May those who fear You see me and be glad, Because I wait for Your word.

75 I know, O LORD , that Your judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

76 O may Your lovingkindness comfort me, According to Your word to Your servant.

77 May Your compassion come to me that I may live, For Your law is my delight.

78 May the arrogant be ashamed, for they subvert me with a lie; But I shall meditate on Your precepts.
