Psalms 119:125. I am thy servant;
He called himself "servant" many times before; and in this wonderful passage this is the third time. He is delighted to be the "servant of God." He says little about being a king; he says a great deal about being a servant: "I am thy servant."
Psalms 119:125. Give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
You know, generally a teacher finds the teaching; the pupil has to find understanding But here is a prayer: "Give me understanding." The last verse he asked to be taught; here he asks to have an understanding given to him. What a God we have to deal with! And when we are taught of the Lord, how effectually we are taught: he not only gives the facts, but gives the understanding with which to get at their meaning.
