Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 119:125. I am thy servant;-

This is the third time in four verses that David mentions this relationship; he seems proud of being God’s servant. Though he were but as a menial, yet would he glory in it: "I am thy servant;" -

Psalms 119:125. Give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

"Lord, do not merely teach me, but give me understanding." That is what our teachers cannot do. They may put the truth before us so plainly that we ought to understand it, but they cannot give us understanding.
