This reflects the belief that God's laws are perfect and unchanging, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/psalms/19-7.htm">Psalm 19:7</a>, which states, "The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul." The faithfulness of God's commandments is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, emphasizing that they are a reflection of His character—righteous, just, and true. This phrase underscores the idea that God's word is a firm foundation, as echoed in <a href="/matthew/24-35.htm">Matthew 24:35</a>, where Jesus says, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away."<p><b>I am persecuted without cause—</b><br>The psalmist expresses a personal lament, highlighting the experience of unjust suffering. This mirrors the experiences of many biblical figures, such as Joseph, who was persecuted by his brothers without cause (Genesis 37), and David, who was pursued by Saul despite his loyalty (<a href="/1_samuel/24-11.htm">1 Samuel 24:11</a>). The phrase also prophetically points to Jesus Christ, who was persecuted and crucified despite His innocence, fulfilling prophecies like <a href="/isaiah/53-7.htm">Isaiah 53:7</a>, "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth." This unjust persecution is a common theme in the lives of those who follow God, as Jesus warned in <a href="/john/15-20.htm">John 15:20</a>, "If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also."<p><b>help me!</b><br>The plea for divine assistance is a central element of the psalmist's prayer, reflecting a deep dependence on God for deliverance and support. This cry for help is consistent with the biblical understanding that God is a refuge and strength for His people, as seen in <a href="/psalms/46.htm">Psalm 46:1</a>, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." The request for help also aligns with the New Testament teaching on prayer, where believers are encouraged to present their requests to God with thanksgiving (<a href="/philippians/4-6.htm">Philippians 4:6</a>). This plea is a reminder of the believer's reliance on God's grace and mercy in times of distress, trusting in His power to save and deliver.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/psalmist.htm">Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/119.htm">Psalm 119</a>, traditionally believed to be King David, who expresses a deep devotion to God's law and a plea for divine assistance.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The divine author of the commandments, whose faithfulness is central to the psalmist's trust and plea for help.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/persecutors.htm">Persecutors</a></b><br>Unnamed individuals or groups who unjustly oppress the psalmist, representing those who oppose God's followers.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/c/commandments.htm">Commandments</a></b><br>The laws and decrees given by God, which are described as faithful and trustworthy.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/p/persecution.htm">Persecution</a></b><br>The unjust suffering faced by the psalmist, highlighting the trials believers may endure for their faith.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/f/faithfulness_of_god's_commandments.htm">Faithfulness of God's Commandments</a></b><br>God's commandments are reliable and trustworthy, providing a solid foundation for our lives.<br><br>In times of trouble, we can rely on the truth and faithfulness of God's word.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/e/enduring_persecution.htm">Enduring Persecution</a></b><br>Believers may face unjust persecution, but they are called to remain steadfast in their faith.<br><br>Trusting in God's faithfulness can provide strength and comfort during trials.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/seeking_divine_help.htm">Seeking Divine Help</a></b><br>It is appropriate and necessary to cry out to God for help when facing unjust treatment.<br><br>Prayer is a powerful tool for seeking God's intervention and support.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/living_a_godly_life.htm">Living a Godly Life</a></b><br>Following God's commandments may lead to opposition, but it is a testament to living a life pleasing to God.<br><br>Our response to persecution should reflect our trust in God's ultimate justice and faithfulness.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_119.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 119</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_contemplative_spirituality.htm">What defines contemplative spirituality?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_the_bible_say_on_discord.htm">How can I align my heart to revere You?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_embodies_the_essence_of_truth.htm">What embodies the essence of truth?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_to_reconcile_david's_authorship_of_psalm_119.htm">How can we reconcile the traditional view that Psalm 119 was authored by David with scholarly assertions that it may have multiple authors or was written much later (Psalm 119)?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/119.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 86.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">All thy commandments are faithful</span>; literally, <span class="accented">are faithfulness</span>.
