Footnotes
- Psalm 119:132 The psalmist asks for the Lord’s blessing (see Num 6:24-26), which brings down God’s grace to enable him to direct his steps in accord with the divine law and away from sin and adversity (Ps 119:133-134). He also asks for the Lord’s face to shine on him (v. 135), i.e., to bring him nothing but good in all circumstances of his life; for when God’s face shines on people it brings deliverance and blessings.
