In Psalms, chapter one hundred and nineteen, like the psalmist, believers may appeal for God’s help based on obedience to and love for His Word, as in verses hundred and twenty-one to hundred and twenty-two, God’s promises are His sure Word, as in verse hundred and twenty-three, God’s mercy and steadfast love, as in verse hundred and twenty-four, the commitment to serve Him, as in hundred and twenty-five, and the urgent needs we have in our lives, as in hundred and twenty-six, respectively.
The theme under The Psalmist Loves for God’s Law section depicts the godly addressing their problems and encounters in life to God. Why? Because believers will receive testing in different ways due to the oppressors. These groups of people are tyrants, bullies, and persecutors. The enemy uses these individuals to hinder believers by attempting to create problems similar to torment.
Solomon states in Ecclesiastes four, verse one, “So I returned and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter, and on the side of their oppressors there was power, but they had no comforter.” Looking around at the world that was rejecting God’s ways, Solomon saw oppression everywhere, and the oppressed had no comforter. It is still true that there is much oppression in the world, but comfort is available. “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.” God the Father comforted His people in the Old Testament when they looked to Him.
Jesus brought comfort and healing while on earth, and the Holy Spirit is the Comforter. Believers received instruction to comfort one another, as in First Thessalonians five, verse eleven. Peace be to the Almighty God.
