"Those who fear You" refers to individuals who have a deep respect and reverence for God, often associated with wisdom and understanding ( Proverbs 9:10). The psalmist desires that these God-fearing individuals will see him and find joy. This reflects the biblical principle of mutual encouragement among believers, as seen in Hebrews 10:24-25, where Christians are urged to spur one another on toward love and good deeds. The joy mentioned here is not merely happiness but a deep, spiritual joy that comes from witnessing God's work in others' lives. This aligns with the New Testament teaching in Philippians 4:4, where believers are encouraged to rejoice in the Lord always. for I have hoped in Your word
The psalmist's hope is anchored in God's word, which is a recurring theme throughoutPsalm 119. This hope is not wishful thinking but a confident expectation based on the promises and faithfulness of God. The word of God is seen as a source of guidance, comfort, and assurance. In the historical context, the Torah (the first five books of the Bible) would have been central to the psalmist's understanding of God's word. This hope is echoed inRomans 15:4, where Paul writes that everything written in the past was to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope. The psalmist's reliance on God's word also points to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises in Jesus Christ, who is described as the Word made flesh inJohn 1:14. Persons / Places / Events 1. The PsalmistThe author of Psalm 119, traditionally believed to be King David, who expresses a deep love and reverence for God's law. 2. Those who fear GodRefers to the community of believers who have a reverent awe and respect for God, often characterized by obedience and faithfulness. 3. GodThe central figure in the Psalm, whose word and promises are the source of hope and joy for the faithful. Teaching Points The Joy of FellowshipBelievers find joy in the company of others who share their reverence for God. This mutual encouragement strengthens the community of faith. Hope Anchored in ScriptureThe Psalmist's hope is firmly rooted in God's word. This teaches us the importance of grounding our expectations and desires in the promises of Scripture. Witness Through FaithfulnessThe Psalmist desires that others see his faith and rejoice. Our lives should be a testimony to others, inspiring them to find joy in their relationship with God. The Role of Fear in Faith"Fear" in this context is not about being afraid but having a deep respect and awe for God. This reverence leads to a life that reflects God's character and brings joy to others. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 119
What does the Bible teach about comfort?
What are the Psalms of Lament?
Psalm 31:7-8 affirms divine deliverance, yet history shows numerous faithful people suffering or dying--how do we reconcile this apparent discrepancy?
What is the central message of Psalm 119?(74) They . . . will be glad.--The great truth of spiritual communion, and the mutual help and consolation derived from it, is latent here. In its primary sense, that the preservation and deliverance of the righteous, who are victims of persecution, afford comfort and joy to all truly good, the verse has been amply confirmed by history. Matthew 5:16, "Let your light so shine," &c Verse 74. - They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; literally, will see me and be glad.
