Psalms 119:64
The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
119:64. The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy. David had been exiled, but he had never been driven beyond the range of mercy, for he found the world to be everywhere filled with it. It is little wonder that, since he knew the Lord to be his portion, he hoped to obtain a measure of this mercy for himself, and so was encouraged to pray, teach me thy statutes. Surely he who fills the universe with his grace will grant such a request as this to his own child.
The first verse of this eight is fragrant with full assurance and strong resolve, and this last verse overflows with a sense of the divine fullness, and of the psalmist’s personal dependence. This is an illustration of the fact that full assurance neither damps prayer nor hinders humility. It creates lowliness and suggests supplication.Those who have resolved to obey are the most eager to be taught. Whoever does not care to be instructed of the Lord has never honestly resolved to be holy.
