    for they offer me counsel.

    revive me in accordance with your word.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 119:25 Whether in distress or in prosperity, the psalmist is determined to remain close to God’s law. In adversities, he becomes more teachable and his spirit is renewed in him, for the word of the Lord has the power to comfort. In prosperity, he enjoys a freedom from anxiety and care that enables him to focus on doing God’s will.
