Psalms 119:122. Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
As nearly as I remember, this is the only verse which does not mention the law or the Word of God. Here you have a "surety," and that is something even better. If the law fails us, the surety stands us in good stead. How I like to think of God the surety of his people! When there is a trial against them, and the oppressor is heavy upon them, they can come to God to be a surety for them in the great action of life. "Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me." My Master is surety for his servants; his servant is sure enough.
