“Let my cry reach You, Lord; give me understanding according to Your word. Let my plea reach You; rescue me according to Your promise. My lips pour out praise, for You teach me Your statutes. My tongue sings about Your promise, for all Your commands are righteous. May Your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen Your precepts. I long for Your salvation, Lord, and Your instruction is my delight. Let me live, and I will praise You; may Your judgments help me. I wander like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your commands.” Psalms 119:169-176 HCSB
“Tav” is the last (22nd) letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The Pictograph form is a cross. “Tav” means truth, sign, and life or death. Being the last letter it holds up the whole alphabet. Just as truth holds up the whole world through God’s invisible attributes.
“Let my cry reach You, Lord; give me understanding according to Your word.”
Psalms 119:169 HCSB
The “Tev” stands on a “Yod” which means humility. The psalmist is humble before God crying out to Him. “I don’t understand Lord teach me according to your word so that I may understand.”
“Let my plea reach You; rescue me according to Your promise.”
Psalms 119:170 HCSB
He does not take revenge into his own hands but He places himself in the Hands of God. We as Christians place ourselves in God’s hands and Jesus seals us up with His hands. And we receive the Holy Spirit through Jesus. So when we humble ourselves into the Hands of God, we are given all the protection and power we need. —John 10:28-29, Acts 1:8
“My lips pour out praise, for You teach me Your statutes. My tongue sings about Your promise, for all Your commands are righteous.”
Psalms 119:171-172 HCSB
Life and death are in the power of the tongue. The psalmist used his tongue to praise God and not slander men. He leaned on the truth of the statutes and commands of God.
“May Your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen Your precepts.”

No one can choose to follow God’s precepts and be arrogant at the same time. They will have to be humble before God, for God sees all that is in a person’s heart. —Psalms 51:17
Psalms 119:174 HCSB
God’s salvation is a mark, sign, on our lives. We eagerly wait for it to be fully completed in us in heaven. But until then we stand in salvation knowing that one day He will save us. See how salvation past, salvation present, and salvation future works.
“Let me live, and I will praise You; may Your judgments help me.”
Psalms 119:175 HCSB
Our lives are in the hands of God. Each day he wakes us up. He does this fore everyone regardless of race, religion or nationality. He desires everyone to have one more chance to find His Son, Jesus. It is our job first, to praise God, and second, to tell others about Him.
“I wander like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your commands.”
Psalms 119:176 HCSB
Some times we may not know the direction our life is going. So in those times, we must not forget His command to be with us always. —Matthew 28:18-20
