Psalm 119:41-48

Overview:
Lord, I want your constant love. Save me like you promised. If you do, then I will show those who mock me. I trust in Your Word, so do not take it from you. Your Word is the only thing I have. I promise to eternally obey your Word. I have confidence because I have been faithful to Your Commandments. Because of my knowledge of the Word, I can speak to kings about it. I delight and love your Commandments. I lift my hands in honor and respect of your Word. I meditate on what it says.
Application:
There seems to be a bit of negotiating in the first verses of this section. If You do as you've promised, then I will... But then I don't know the writer's heart, nor do I know the why they spoke in those days. This Psalm is about God's Word, but it is also a Psalm of adoration. Adoring the words that God has inspired the writers to author, is showing my love for God as well. He loves when I delight and meditate on His Word. Knowledge of the Word gives me the confidence I need in talking to others - even kings (leaders).
