“Uphold Me”

Blessings folk!

Let us look a little closer at the “Samekh” stanza of Psalm 119…

Read again…

Psa 119:113-120

Samekh.
I hate those who are double-minded,
But I love Your law.

You are my hiding place and my shield;
I wait for Your word.

Depart from me, evildoers,
That I may observe the commandments of my God.

Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live;
And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

Uphold me that I may be safe,
That I may have regard for Your statutes continually.

You have rejected all those who wander from Your statutes,
For their deceitfulness is useless.

You have removed all the wicked of the earth like dross;
Therefore I love Your testimonies.

My flesh trembles for fear of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.

  • Love the Lord’s Law
  • Hides in the Lord
  • Shielded by the Lord
  • Waits for the Word of the Lord
  • Demands evildoers to depart from him
  • Wants evildoers to depart so that he can observe the commandments of God
  • Asks the Lord to sustain him according to His Word, so as to live
  • Does not want to be ashamed of the hope he has in the Lord
  • Seeks the Lord to uphold him
  • Desires to regard the statutes of the Lord continually
  • Loves the testimonies of the Lord
  • Trembles for fear of the Lord

Note what the Lord does…
  • Hides us
  • Shields us
  • Sustains us
  • Is our Hope
  • Upholds us
  • Rejects those who wander from His statutes
  • Removed the wicked of the earth…interesting…that which is yet to come spoken as if it has already occurred…which it has…
  • Judges

The Lord reveals so much to us about Himself, His Word and the life we as Believers have in Him.

Do you believe?
Do you truly believe unto salvation?
Do you live according to His word?
