Psalms 119:64
The Earth Is Full of God’s MercyThis section reminds us that God’s mercy is everywhere. David sees that God is kind to all His creatures, not just to people in Israel, but to everyone and everything on earth. Even animals receive God’s care. Because of this, David feels confident to ask God for what he needs most—spiritual understanding and guidance.v. 64: David says, The earth is full of thy mercy . He notices that God’s kindness reaches every part of the world. God provides for all living things according to what they need. David then prays, teach me thy statutes (Psalm 119:64 a). He asks God to give him spiritual food, just as God gives food to the young ravens (Psalm 147:9 b). David believes that if God cares for birds and animals, He will surely teach and care for His children. David’s request shows that a thankful heart uses every reason to ask God for help in learning and obeying His word.
