And all Your commandments are truth.

Revive me according to Your word.

For they do not seek Your statutes.

And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

But my heart stands in awe of Your word.

As one who finds great treasure.

Psalms 119:153

Consider mine affliction ... - This commences a new division of the psalm, indicated by the Hebrew letter Resh ( r ), corresponding to our "r." The prayer here is, that God would look upon his trial; that he would regard it as it really was; that he would not turn away from it, or pass it by, as if it were a trifle - a thing not worthy to claim his attention. See the notes at Psalms 9:13.

For I do not forget thy law - I endeavor to be obedient, submissive, patient. As a suffering child of thine, I come to thee, and beseech thee to interpose and save me.
