In biblical times, a name was more than just an identifier; it conveyed the essence of a person's identity. God's name is often associated with His covenant faithfulness and His actions in history. The psalmist appeals to God's name, invoking His past deeds and promises. This reflects a deep understanding of God's unchanging nature and His commitment to His people. The appeal to God's name is a common theme in Scripture, seen in passages like <a href="/exodus/34-5.htm">Exodus 34:5-7</a>, where God proclaims His name and attributes to Moses.<p><b>revive me.</b><br>The request for revival indicates a desire for spiritual renewal and restoration. In the context of the Psalms, revival often involves a return to spiritual vitality and a renewed sense of God's presence. The psalmist seeks not just physical deliverance but a deeper, spiritual awakening. This plea can be connected to the broader biblical theme of God breathing life into His people, as seen in <a href="/ezekiel/37.htm">Ezekiel 37:1-14</a>, where the dry bones are brought to life. The concept of revival is also echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus speaks of giving life abundantly (<a href="/john/10-10.htm">John 10:10</a>).<p><b>In Your righteousness,</b><br>God's righteousness is a central theme in the Bible, referring to His moral perfection and justice. The psalmist appeals to God's righteousness as the basis for deliverance, recognizing that God's actions are always in accordance with His holy nature. This appeal underscores the belief that God will act justly and faithfully on behalf of His people. The righteousness of God is a recurring theme in the Psalms and is foundational to the understanding of God's character throughout Scripture, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/11-7.htm">Psalm 11:7</a> and <a href="/romans/3-21.htm">Romans 3:21-26</a>.<p><b>bring my soul out of trouble.</b><br>The psalmist seeks deliverance from distress, which could be physical, emotional, or spiritual. The plea for God to rescue the soul highlights the depth of the psalmist's anguish and dependence on divine intervention. This request is consistent with the biblical narrative of God as a deliverer, as seen in the Exodus story and throughout the history of Israel. The concept of God rescuing His people is also a type of Christ, who delivers humanity from sin and death. This deliverance is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, who offers salvation and peace to all who believe (<a href="/john/16-33.htm">John 16:33</a>, <a href="/colossians/1-13.htm">Colossians 1:13-14</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of this psalm, David is expressing a deep personal plea for deliverance and revival.
