‏ Psalms 119:49

ZAIN: Remember Your Promise

This section is a prayer where David asks God to keep His promises. David trusts that God is wise and faithful, so He will do what He has said. David believes that God gives hope through His word, and he depends on God to fulfill that hope. He is confident to ask because God Himself has given the promises and the hope to trust in them.

v. 49: David prays, Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope . He asks God to keep His promise, just as He has spoken before (1 Chronicles 17:23 a). David knows that God is wise and will not change His mind, and that He is faithful to finish what He has promised (Genesis 32:9; Exodus 33:12 b). Because God gave the promise and made David hope in it, David boldly asks God to do as He has said. If God gives us a desire for spiritual blessings, we can trust Him to fulfill those desires. God will not disappoint the hope He Himself has created in us.
