ק Qoph
v.145-146 David cries (prays) with his whole heart: Lord save me! Save me from my sins, from temptation, from evil doers, and from any hindrance to doing your will. Then I will be able to keep your testimonies.
v.147-148 David started his day with God; in prayer and meditation on his word.
v.149 David pleads: Lord, give me life (quicken me) according to your steadfast love and justice.
v.150-151 Enemies draw near to destroy me, but you are nearer and ready to save. They are far from your law, but I know all your commandments are truth.
v.152 David had known God’s testimonies from his youth and knew that they were forever.
David knew that just reading God’s word was insufficient, he needed to meditate on it. He did so early in the morning before the day’s distractions were upon him. Here is a suggestion: get up early to pray and meditate on God’s eternal word.
