73\u00a0<\/sup>Your hands have made me and fashioned me;<\/span><\/em>
\nGive me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

74 <\/sup>Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,<\/span><\/em>
\nBecause I have hoped in Your word.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

75 <\/sup>I know, O Lord<\/span>, that Your judgments are\u00a0right,<\/span><\/em>
\nAnd that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

76 <\/sup>Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,<\/span><\/em>
\nAccording to Your word to Your servant.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

77 <\/sup>Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;<\/span><\/em>
\nFor Your law is my delight.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

78 <\/sup>Let the proud be ashamed,<\/span><\/em>
\nFor they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;<\/span><\/em>
\nBut I will meditate on Your precepts.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

79 <\/sup>Let those who fear You turn to me,<\/span><\/em>
\nThose who know Your testimonies.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

80 <\/sup>Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes,<\/span><\/em>
\nThat I may not be ashamed.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

It’s easy to see how this stanza can be applied to the Messiah.<\/h3>\n

Christ’s human life or dependence on God and affection for His Word shine forth in every verse of this stanza. … His experience of the trustworthiness of the Scriptures enheartens His disciples; and when by-and-by they see Him by sight they will indeed be glad!<\/span><\/h3>\n

The closing verses may be read in the future tense, as in Hebrew. They predict that the proud shall be put to shame; that those who worship God shall turn to Messiah in order to learn the Divine testimonies; and that Christ shall never be put to shame because His heart was sound in the statutes of Jehovah. \u2014 Williams, page 393.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
