Humility is often associated with a recognition of one's dependence on God, as seen in passages like <a href="/james/4-10.htm">James 4:10</a>, "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up." The humble are those who acknowledge their need for God and His salvation. In the context of <a href="/psalms/69.htm">Psalm 69</a>, which is a lament, the humble are contrasted with the proud and the oppressors. The promise that they "will see and rejoice" suggests a future vindication and joy that comes from God's deliverance. This aligns with the Beatitudes in <a href="/matthew/5-5.htm">Matthew 5:5</a>, "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth," indicating a future reward for those who maintain humility.<p><b>You who seek God,</b><br>Seeking God is a recurring exhortation in the Bible, urging believers to pursue a relationship with Him. This pursuit is not merely intellectual but involves a heartfelt desire to know and follow God's will. In the historical context of ancient Israel, seeking God often involved prayer, worship, and adherence to the Law. The phrase connects to <a href="/deuteronomy/4-29.htm">Deuteronomy 4:29</a>, "But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul." It underscores the idea that God is accessible to those who earnestly seek Him, a theme echoed in the New Testament in <a href="/hebrews/11-6.htm">Hebrews 11:6</a>, "He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."<p><b>let your hearts be revived!</b><br>Revival of the heart implies a renewal or restoration of spiritual vitality. In the context of <a href="/psalms/69.htm">Psalm 69</a>, which is a cry for help amidst suffering, this revival is a divine response to the faithful's plea. The concept of revival is significant in both the Old and New Testaments, often associated with repentance and a return to God. In <a href="/ezekiel/36-26.htm">Ezekiel 36:26</a>, God promises, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you." This renewal is not just personal but can also be communal, as seen in historical revivals where entire communities returned to God. The phrase also points to the transformative power of God's presence, as seen in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, who offers spiritual renewal to all who come to Him.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/69.htm">Psalm 69</a>, David is expressing his distress and seeking God's deliverance.
