Psalms 119:94. I am thine, -
That is a grand thing for anyone to be able to say, what a heaven of bliss lies slumbering in these three words, "I am thine," -
Psalms 119:94. Save me; -
That is a good argument: "‘I am thine’ by redemption, so do not lose me. ‘I am thine’ by a new creation, so let not the enemy steal me away from thee. I am thy servant, so exercise a master’s rights over me, and protect me from all my foes. ‘I am thine, save me;’" -
Psalms 119:94. For I have sought thy precepts.
Notice how the psalmist here twice singles out the precepts rather than the promises; even hypocrites may love the promises, but only sincere believers love the precepts. The true servant of God loves the burdens which his Lord and Master lays upon him, and he only wishes that he had more strength to bear still more of them.
