Psa 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
# Light to perceive truth and the way of the narrow path. Also to perceive the wrong path and thereby avoid it.132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
# Ask for mercy because of your sin-guilt you desperately need it.
133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
# Don't ever imagine that sin and Satan's forces will not try to divert you to another path. Also don't think that sin+Satan are a pushover, they are not, and you are still with sin. Thus pray that God will direct your path daily, - you need HIS input all the time.
134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
# It is interesting that these two points are combined here. The oppression of man around us - and God's deliverance that we obey.
135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
# Keep an eye on us Lord and YOU teach us your laws. Avoid the conviction that learning without the grace will work. It won't!
136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law
# Tears should also be in your eyes because they don't keep the law today either.
