Psalm 119 - Kaph

81My soul faints for Your salvation,
But I hope in Your word.
82My eyes fail from searching Your word,
Saying, “When will You comfort me?”
83For I have become like a wineskin in smoke,
Yet I do not forget Your statutes.
84How many are the days of Your servant?
When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me?
85The proud have dug pits for me,
Which is not according to Your law.
86All Your commandments are faithful;
They persecute me wrongfully;
Help me!
87They almost made an end of me on earth,
But I did not forsake Your precepts.
88Revive me according to Your lovingkindness,
So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.
-Psalm 119:81-88


As much as one may not resonate with the beginning sections of this Psalm and pursuing after the Word of God with a whole heart, I have found it extremely common among believers to resonate with this passage. There is a zealous hunger that comes from the Spirit of God that yearns deep inside us for the Word. I'd say it is similar to when someone spends a week eating nothing but junk food and then finds themselves craving fruit or vegetables. Just the exposure we have to the things of this world becomes overbearing and we crave some real nutrients spiritually. While persecution, trials, tribulations, or even exhaustion alone comes, we find rest in the Word of God. We are revived by the Lord. Pray that final verse and walk in what it says. Pray that you would be revived according to His lovingkindness so that you would keep His testimonies.
