Psalms 119:145-152
(145) KOPH. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
(146) I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
(147) I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
(148) Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
(149) Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.
(150) They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
(151) Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
(152) Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
119:145–152. This section is given up to memories of prayer. The psalmist describes the time and the manner of his devotions, and pleads with God for deliverance from his troubles. He who has been with God in the closet will find God with him in the furnace. If we have cried we shall be answered. Delayed answers may drive us to importunity; but we need not fear the ultimate result, since God’s promises are not uncertain, but are “founded for ever.” The whole passage shows us how he prayed (verse 145); what he prayed for (verse 146); when he prayed (verse 147); how long he prayed (verse 148); what he pleaded (verse 149); what happened (verse 150); how he was rescued (verse 151); what was his witness as to the whole matter (verse 152).
