Psalm 119:121-128

Overview:
The writer is in a one-way dialogue with God. He is pointing out that he has done righteously, he has poured over God's Word and kept what it says. Now he is asking the LORD, Jehovah, to act (126) and punish those who don't believe in Him and do not keep God's laws.
Application:
God is omnipotent - He has the ability to do what He pleases. The writer knows God hates sin and scoffers of His Word and name, so what he is asking would be in accordance with God's will. It stikes me how often throughout Psalm 119, David keeps bringing up how righteous he is and how unrighteous are his enemies. God knows the true motivation for our obedience - He knows my heart just as He knew David's heart, so God certainly didn't need to be reminded of His servant's faithfulness. So why did David keep saying it? Perhaps he was reminding himself. When I am "oppressed" by people, anxiety etc. I need to remind myself that I am God's very own. That seems to be the only thing that brings true peace and comfort to my soul. It's probably a combination of reasons: style of writing, and not asking as much as affirming.
