Psalms 119:76. Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
"Lord," he seems to say, "I have been a comfort to others; be thou a comfort to me. Thou hast made others glad to see me; make me glad with the recollection of all my experience of thy mercy: ‘Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort.’" If you have lost your own comfort, dear friends, see where you are to look for it, to the merciful kindness of God. Those are two beautiful words, are they not? "Merciful"-take that to pieces, and it is mercy-full. Is not God full of mercy? Take the next word to pieces-"kindness." That means, "kinned-ness"-that kind of feeling that we have to our own kin when they are very dear to us. "Lord, let thy mercy-full kinned-ness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant."
