In the biblical context, turning signifies repentance and a desire for a restored relationship. The psalmist seeks God's face, echoing the sentiments found in other scriptures such as <a href="/2_chronicles/7-14.htm">2 Chronicles 7:14</a>, where God promises to hear from heaven when His people turn to Him. This reflects the covenant relationship between God and His people, where turning to God is met with His gracious response.<p><b>and show me mercy</b><br>Mercy is a central theme in the Bible, highlighting God's compassion and forgiveness. The psalmist's request for mercy acknowledges human frailty and the need for divine grace. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative of God's merciful nature, as seen in <a href="/exodus/34-6.htm">Exodus 34:6-7</a>, where God describes Himself as "merciful and gracious." The plea for mercy is also a recognition of God's sovereignty and the psalmist's dependence on Him.<p><b>as You do to those who love Your name</b><br>Loving God's name implies a deep reverence and commitment to His character and commandments. In the ancient Near Eastern context, a name represented the essence of a person. Thus, loving God's name means honoring His nature and authority. This phrase connects to the promise in <a href="/deuteronomy/7-9.htm">Deuteronomy 7:9</a>, where God is faithful to those who love Him and keep His commandments. It also foreshadows the New Testament teaching in <a href="/john/14-21.htm">John 14:21</a>, where Jesus speaks of the love and obedience that characterize His followers.<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 longing for God's mercy and guidance.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure to whom the Psalmist is directing his plea for mercy and favor.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/those_who_love_god's_name.htm">Those who love God's name</a></b><br>A group of people characterized by their devotion and reverence for God, serving as an example for the Psalmist's request.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_god's_mercy.htm">Understanding God's Mercy</a></b><br>God's mercy is a central theme in Scripture, and it is available to those who seek Him with a sincere heart.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_loving_god's_name.htm">The Importance of Loving God's Name</a></b><br>Loving God's name involves reverence, obedience, and a personal relationship with Him.
