‏ Psalms 119:94

Claiming Belonging to God

This verse shows David’s humble attitude as he speaks to God. He does not claim God for himself in a proud way, but instead says that he belongs to God. David’s relationship with God is based on God’s ownership, not his own goodness. He also shows that those who truly belong to God are always seeking to know and do God’s will. Finally, David asks God to save him, trusting that God will protect those who are His.

v. 94: David says, “I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts” . He claims that he belongs to God, not to himself or to the world. He proves this by saying he has tried hard to learn and follow God’s commands. David asks God to save him from sin and danger. He trusts that because he has given himself to God, God will keep him safe and bring him to His heavenly kingdom (Malachi 3:18 a).
