v.145. I cried with all my heart; answer me, O Lord! I will observe Your statutes. v.146. I cried to You; save me and I shall keep Your testimonies. v.147. I rise before dawn and cry for help; I wait for Your words. v.148. My eyes anticipate the night watches, that I may meditate on Your word. v.149. Hear my voice according to your lovingkindness; revive me, O Lord, according to Your ordinances. v.150. Those who follow after wickedness draw near; they are far from Your law. v.151. You are near, O Lord, and all Your commandments are truth. v.152. Of old I have known from Your testimonies that You have founded them forever. (NAS version)
As you read through this stanza, what do you see of the Psalmist in his anguish?
Where does he go to receive revival? (v.148,149)
The Psalmist experienced closeness to the Lord (v.151). What can you do today to receive revival like the Psalmist?
You are near, O Lord, and all Your commandments are truth. (v.151)
