Psalms 119:63
Companions of Those Who Fear GodThis section focuses on David’s love for God’s people. He did not love them just because they were close to him or helpful to his kingdom. He loved them because they respected God and obeyed His commands. David’s love for fellow believers was sincere. He valued them for their faith and for the good they did for God’s kingdom, not for personal reasons. He wanted to be with them and share his life with them, no matter their social status.v. 63: David says, I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts . He chose his friends based on their love for God and their obedience to God’s laws. David joined with others in worship and shared in their joys and sorrows (Hebrews 10:33 a). He was willing to be friends with any person who truly respected God, whether they were rich or poor (Psalm 15:4; James 2:1 b). Even though David was a king, he did not feel too important to spend time with those who honored God. He shared his experiences with them and listened to theirs, showing real friendship and unity in faith.
