Psalms 119:78 — Meaning and Application

Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. {for...: Heb. to comfort me}

Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law {is} my delight.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: {but} I will meditate in thy precepts.

Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.

Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
