The Hebrew word "chesed" signifies a covenantal love that is loyal and enduring. This request reflects the psalmist's deep reliance on God's faithful character, which is a recurring theme throughout the Old Testament. The invocation of "O LORD" uses the divine name Yahweh, highlighting a personal relationship with God. This plea is consistent with the covenantal promises made to the patriarchs, such as in <a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1-3</a>, where God promises to bless Abraham and his descendants.<p><b>Your salvation</b><br>The term "salvation" here is not limited to spiritual deliverance but encompasses physical, emotional, and communal rescue. In the context of the Old Testament, salvation often involved deliverance from enemies or peril, as seen in the Exodus narrative (<a href="/exodus/14-13.htm">Exodus 14:13-14</a>). The psalmist's request for salvation is a call for God's intervention in all aspects of life. This salvation is ultimately fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus Christ, who is seen as the ultimate Savior, providing eternal salvation (<a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16-17</a>).<p><b>according to Your promise</b><br>The psalmist appeals to God's promises, which are central to the biblical narrative. God's promises are seen as unbreakable covenants, such as those made with Noah, Abraham, and David. The assurance of God's promises is a source of hope and confidence for the believer. In the New Testament, these promises find their fulfillment in Christ, who is the "Yes" and "Amen" of all God's promises (<a href="/2_corinthians/1-20.htm">2 Corinthians 1:20</a>). The psalmist's reliance on God's promise underscores the faithfulness of God and the trustworthiness of His word, as seen throughout <a href="/psalms/119.htm">Psalm 119</a>, which exalts the law and testimonies of the Lord.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/119.htm">Psalm 119</a>, traditionally believed to be King David, who is expressing a deep desire for God's loving devotion and salvation.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who is the source of loving devotion and salvation.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation to whom the promises of God were originally given, and through whom the Psalmist seeks fulfillment of God's promises.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_loving_devotion.htm">Understanding Loving Devotion (Hesed)</a></b><br>God's loving devotion is steadfast, loyal, and covenantal.
