Psalms 119:116. Uphold me-
I thought we should soon come to that petition. We have been reading about David’s resolutions, and we might have thought that he was too bold in speaking so positively, but now he shows us the modesty of his mind: "Uphold me"-
Psalms 119:116. According unto thy word, that I may live:
The Lord upholds us as a nurse holds up a little child, and teaches him to walk. "Uphold me," O Lord, for I cannot stand by myself. My good resolutions will soon evaporate unless thou dost sustain me. There is a gracious promise which just answers this petition, "I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
Psalms 119:116. And let me not be ashamed of my hope.
O my God, never let me have to say that I have hoped in thee in vain! I know I never shall, but I trust to thee not to disappoint me. "Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth me "
