Notes
Resh (ר): This request for life appears throughout Psalm 119, but it is focused in this stanza.
This psalm blends wisdom, lament, praise, thanksgiving, and confession. It often uses eight Hebrew words translated as:
“Instructions”
“law”
“words”
“commandments”
“statutes”
“judgments”
“promises”
“precepts“
These words encourage love for and obedience to God's instructions in the Scriptures (see 2 Timothy 3:14–17). A deep commitment to these instructions unifies the psalm.
