The psalmist recognizes God's benevolence and kindness, which is a recurring motif in the Psalms (e.g., <a href="/psalms/34-8.htm">Psalm 34:8</a>, "Taste and see that the LORD is good"). The term "servant" reflects a relationship of humility and submission to God, similar to how figures like Moses and David referred to themselves (<a href="/exodus/14-31.htm">Exodus 14:31</a>, <a href="/2_samuel/7-5.htm">2 Samuel 7:5</a>). This relationship underscores the covenantal bond between God and His people, where God is the benevolent master, and His followers are devoted servants.<p><b>O LORD</b><br>The use of "LORD" in all capitals signifies the Hebrew name Yahweh, the personal and covenantal name of God revealed to Moses in <a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14</a>. This name emphasizes God's eternal existence and His faithfulness to His promises. It is a reminder of God's unchanging nature and His commitment to His people throughout history. The invocation of Yahweh here is a personal appeal to the God who has consistently demonstrated His faithfulness and mercy.<p><b>according to Your word</b><br>This phrase highlights the importance of God's word as the standard and basis for His actions. The psalmist trusts in the promises and declarations found in Scripture, which are seen as reliable and true. The "word" of God is not only His spoken promises but also the written Scriptures, which were highly revered in Jewish culture. This reflects the belief that God's word is living and active (<a href="/hebrews/4-12.htm">Hebrews 4:12</a>) and that His promises are sure (<a href="/isaiah/55-11.htm">Isaiah 55:11</a>). The phrase also connects to the broader biblical theme of God's faithfulness to His covenant, as seen in His dealings with Israel and ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>).<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 expresses a deep love for God's law and a desire to live according to His word.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_servant.htm">The Servant</a></b><br>Refers to the psalmist himself, who identifies as a servant of God, committed to following His commandments.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness_to_his_word.htm">God's Faithfulness to His Word</a></b><br>God is faithful to His promises, and His treatment of us is always in accordance with His word.
