Psalms 119:77
Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
119:77. Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live. He was so hard pressed that he was at death’s door if God did not succor him. He needed not only mercy, but mercies, and these must be of a very gracious and considerate kind, even tender mercies, for he was sore with his wounds. These gentle favors must be of the Lord’s giving, for nothing less would suffice; and they must come all the way to the sufferer’s heart, for he was not able to journey after them. When tender mercy comes to us we do not merely exist but live; we know not what life is till we know God.
For thy law is my delight. He is no mean believer who rejoices in the law even when its broken precepts cause him to suffer. To delight in the Word when it rebukes us is proof that we are profiting under it. If we still delight in the law of God he cannot let us die; he must and will cast a tender look upon us and comfort our hearts.
