Salmos 119:125 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:125

I [am] thy servant
Not only by creation, but by grace; and as he had a work to do, he desires to know what it was; and as it was proper he should know his Master's will, he applies to him for it; using this as an argument, that he was his servant, devoted to his service, and willing to perform it to the best of his knowledge and ability; and therefore prays,

give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies;
the Scriptures, which testify of the will of God; which are only rightly understood by those who have their understandings opened and enlightened; or have an understanding given them, that they may understand them, so as to receive and embrace the doctrine, and do the precepts of them: and such an understanding is the gift of God, and owing to his powerful and efficacious grace; see ( Luke 24:45 ) ( 1 John 5:20 ) .

Salmos 119:125 In-Context

123 Mis ojos se esfuerzan por ver tu rescate,
por ver la verdad de tu promesa cumplida.

124 Soy tu siervo; trátame con tu amor inagotable
y enséñame tus decretos.

125 Da discernimiento a este siervo tuyo;
entonces comprenderé tus leyes.

126 Señor
, es tiempo de que actúes,
porque esta gente malvada ha desobedecido tus enseñanzas.

127 De verdad, amo tus mandatos
más que el oro, incluso que el oro más fino.
